Huh. I'm proud of my heritage and my ancestry. I'm proud of the history before they came to this country. But am I proud to be white? I dunno, I don't think about it. I also don't think about how I'm blonde, and taller than average.
Thinking about it, I'm not sure pride is the right word to describe how I feel. Connected is better. A sense of identity, of continuity, would be a better description.
But yeah, I don't get having pride over a genetic accident. Like having pride over having two arms. So what? And forming an in-group based on it is even more illogical.
