Barry the Whitey, reporting for duty. I'm not one to deny my culture or races contribution to my pride...I just wish that everyone could see how we all enrich each other's very existence.
As to your example of putting someone on the moon...I think that "other than white" people definitely contributed to that one. Just another example of cross race/cultural enrichment, amiright? How do we convince the people who put on sheets, though? I'm at a loss.
One of the things that feeds this fear is the scarcity mentality that makes people think there's not enough to go around. It's human nature to get into groups where we feel we belong. The scarcity mentality makes us turn these groups into determiners of the haves and the have nots. If, as you pointed out, we recognize how we enrich one another and that the other's gain is not our loss we will have no grounds for fear.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
