It doesn't, but being proud of your heritage is normal. Some people are, some people aren't, some people never think about it. It's normal. I'm Hispanic and I not ashamed nor proud. I'm not normal, either.
Unless you happen to be white and use "proud of your heritage" to suppress or demean.....
I for one am just glad that my kids are growing up in a world more and more colorblind.....God knows we got enough to worry about without over-generalizing skin tones into the mix.
As I grow older, I find my initial reaction to stupid people to be more and more based on the action, not the skin tone. Stereotypes may have in the past caused me to think differently...that was just a byproduct of my atmosphere, I guess. Now, I am simply appalled by the actions of ignorant people no matter what their race, creed, or religious affiliation....ignorance apparantly knows no racial boundary.
Well as far as "being white" goes, uh, I didn't know we had a choice!!
And you don't have to be a celebrity or an athelete to NOT use your ethnicity as an "excuse".
And please don't get it twisted, me and countless others have ALWAYS been PROUD to be white, even when it wasn't "cool", even though some cause us all to get a bad rap here & there, and through all of the bullshid you have to go through sometimes just because you are "white".
To put it in perspective, I can't speak for everyone, but for me it has ALWAYS been GREAT to be WHITE, EUROPEAN AMERICAN, or whatever else you want to call it

You bring up a good point, tbone. A white person born here, with several generations of their family born here, what heritage do they say they are proud of? It might leave quite a few people feeling left out in a way. I've always ignored the fact that we have different skin tones...grew up in Los Angeles among kids of all cultures, so it never seemed to be a big deal. While I never felt any hurt from people claiming pride in their heritage, I have Hispanic heritage, which is not the "norm" you might say, so what do people in the "norm" stake their pride to?

Dude, it pays to quote intelligent people!!
And that is what is was meant to be. That statement is universal and applies equally.

OJ, Micheal Jackon, & Jesse Jackson................................. are all no longer Black, they joined the Ignorant/Stupid Race a long time ago!!
How many times do I have to tell you all that WE as a people have officially disowned them??

Hope to meet you someday, crazy
imo the largest promoter of racism is the us goverment because they define that there is such a thing as a minority!!! old abe said all men are created equal. i am glad to see we as a country have moved past our prejudices and respect those who can accomplish due to they accomplish. the next step is to fully punish those who refuse to see all or treat all as equals, and remove all these "definitions" above the simplest.
