Absolutely. Taking pride is okay as long as there is no superiority complex that follows.
I, personally, don't take pride in being the race I am. I guess I never thought about it in that way. It is something I was born into, had no control over and did not achieve or anything like that.
No, I think nobody should be proud regardless of their skin color or ethnic background. We shouldn't be proud of things we didn't choose or worked hard to get. It makes no sense to me.
I'd say be proud of what your made of and not of your skin color. Like I can be proud to be greek, Italian, German, and Nigerian. I can be proud of my heritage that I learn.
But no one should be proud of their skin color.
Yeah it is but there's nothing wrongvwith daek skinned either am happy the way iam nd so are they everyone should be so either way i would be happy but hapoy to be white but there's nothing weong with other color a dint like raccist people
No. what do you have to be "proud" of exactly?
The amount of slaves your family had? The amount of Hispanic land they stole? Or maybe how much they profiteered from selling opium to the Asians and PoC?
Hispanic land?
Isn't Hispanic land owned by Spaniards who came from Europe?
Are you fucking stupid?
Yes, if you really care. But honestly, being proud of your race (no matter who) is stupid in my opinion. Don't be proud of anything you were simply born as and did nothing to achieve.
Why not. After all we did build the world and civilize it. We're responsible for most great inventions and civilizations. Done more good than bad. Look at crime statistics. Tell me who's who. I'm so sick of people being racist these days that I just say these things because they're doing the same thing just the opposite. So they can't say a damn word about it.
Yes if the reason for being proud is you being you and being proud of your family heritage.
However it would not be okay if you believed to be better than others because of it.
If people feel like being proud of their race, yeah. I personally don’t give a shit. It’s just the color of my skin, why should I be proud of it? Lol. Whatever floats your boat, though!
I don't see it that way. I'm just pleased to be ME. The fact I'm white is irrelevant.
i mean you can't really change the fact that you're white, so you might as well just be happy with it lol and not try and feel guilty for things you didn't do
"Proud to be black, Hispanic, Asian, gay, etc" just means "Not feeling inferior to the dominant group".
Not sure why anyone would take pride in anything they had nothing to do with...
Is that a dildo on your dresser
No it isn't. Do you haven't anything else to be proud of? I think that people who are proud of their beauty and skin color etc. are heavily narcissistic and complex. Sorry but because there is so much more to be proud of.
There is a difference between pride and supermacy. That difference is the value for humanity.
Being proud of one race is not the same thing as hoping or helping to destroy another race.
First and foremost, be proud that you're an American

I am kind of white. And I wonder WHAT I should be proud about - other than my own personal achievements.
So: I think that it's okay... but also pointless.
Nothing wrong with being proud of who you are. But it’s racist to be proud of white history and how Europeans evaded america by raping and killing all the native Americans. If you’re not proud of that then it’s okay to be proud of being white
I’m still here. It wasn’t all of us. Also, each race can be proud of their race’s accomplishments. Whites can be proud of the airplane. Blacks can be proud of the wrench. But seriously, nobody should be proud of their race anyway because they didn’t earn it. They didn’t choose it.
Being proud of your genes is bullshit in my opinion. That is just pure luck. Can only be proud of achievements.
You’re saying being white is good luck?
yes, since you are more privileged as white.. or what? did you make a conscious decision and actively made sure you became white?
I am not more privileged just because I’m white. How does that even make sense
*when you don’t understand racism
Just by being white you have an advantage in life. It is seen through statistics that whites are biased to be perceived more positive than anyone else many places in society.
Also if you could answer how you decided/made sure you became white I'd appreciate it ;)
You should be proud of your ethnic roots, culture and language rather than a stupid skin color
