Edited by God: 4/5/2013 8:11:56 PMI think it's dumb to be proud/ashamed of anything one has no conscious control over, people should be judged by their achievements and character. Race/gender/whatever does play a part in shaping character, but not a large enough one to really mean anything. The only time I think it's valid to think that way is when the group in question is actively oppressed and so adopts that attitude as a form of retaliation. But once the stigma goes away there is no reason for it.

I love booties of all colors.

These days it might as well be illegal to be white. White males are the most discriminated against demographic on the planet, it's even worse if your a British white male.

I'm proud to be Greek.
-
I am too. Its pretty messed up that in our culture you can openly be proud to be black, latino, gay, or lesbian. But you cant be proud to be white and straight. Pretty stupid.

Nobody should be proud or upset over their colour of skin. One thing people should be proud of, is what they achieved in life. Like getting a job or winning a sport tournament. And no, achieving a colour of your skin that you want, is not it.
-
I'm just proud of myself. What does my race/nationality/creed etc. have anything to do with it?
-
It's not wrong per se, it's just pretty pointless. You didn't achieve being white, nor did you put any effort in, so why would you be proud?

Edited by halo: 4/4/2013 3:24:50 PMWhat delta said. I don't see the point in being proud of your skin color. Just seems arbitrary, I mean what are you proud of exactly.
-
Dunno why you'd necessarily be proud to be any colour of skin - it is entirely arbitrary

Of course not. I'm proud too.

OP is racist.
-
As long as that feeling of pride doesn't translate to a feeling of superiority.
-
Pointless, whats the reasoning to be proud to be what you were born, it isnt like you earned it.
-
Its not wrong, just pointless. Much like its pointless to be proud of being homosexual or black or British.
-
Ughh...there's no reason to be proud. Unless you are proud of your culture and interested in it or you have achieved something specifically related to being white. Other than that your probably just racist.
-
No. White power.
-
What's to be proud of? It's not an accomplishment. You didn't choose it. You didn't invent 'being white.' And even if you had, there's literally no differences between skin pigmentation other than the visual.
-
Kind of but only because it's not really anything to be proud of. It's like being proud you can tie your laces or that you don't fall down constantly when trying to walk.
-
My bones are white. Take that how you will.

Edited by Cam: 4/4/2013 6:43:35 AMAlmost as pointless as being proud to be gay or American. Edit - Nah, it's as pointless as those.

Yeah it is wrong
