White American (proud to be...)

[Wei&Shu(Joe) 2]

Then you'd say, "I'm proud to be Irish", but 'white' doesn't imply any specific ethnic characteristics beyond color of skin. Can you think of anything unique to being 'white' by which you'd be proud of?

Same could go for "black".

It's just a skin colour.

As for Americans.... do you really think we're going to say "I'm proud to be English-Irish-Norwegian-German-French-Swedish!" No, those all get covered by "white" and "American".

You go Ty! I'm with you! When I start seeing those St Patty's day parades and Italian American parades then come talk to me about how it's national origin. Until then it's white all the way. These people actually think they're going to see people walking around America wearing

"Kiss me I'm Irish" buttons. Some people will believe anything! They probably even think they'll be a day when bars serve corned beef and cabbage and go to the trouble of dying their beer green! Fools. We know that ain't gonna happen but some people are just in lala land! Right Ty?

Man I get a buzz when people make sense and know a little about logic!

You know some people even try to use the fact that the Irish, the Italians, and many eastern Europeans were not considered "white" when they first came here to suggest that "white" has always been about power and not about skin color. Ridiculous! I'm sure my Irish ancestors looked just like African Americans when they came here. It's the only explanation that makes sense. Yea, the Irish just really paled out in the last few generations once they were here. Used to be black as molasses! A lot of people don't know that. Sometime after that the pale skin spread back to Ireland.When we got officially inducted into whitedom we gave up our silly St Paddy's day.

Here's a good resource for all you good ol' boys who are feeling the pride but don't know where to go:

White Pride Events

Blog dedicated with pro-white rallies, events, cookouts,fellowship, education and concerts.

Neo-nazi's are not exactally my way of being proud.

Ha, type 'white pride' in google and that's all you can find. The empirical evidence of what white pride really means is clear, all the protestations here on VJ notwithstanding.

Yes clearly they've laid their claim on "white pride" and perpetuate the stigma. Hmmm.... you have a point there. What to do?

Start your own white pride organization, one that isn't a reaction to black and latino pride organizations (which are quite exclusionary as well).

Yup - the Moors did conquer Southern Spain during the crusades. Also part of the reason why modern Italians and Greeks have distinctive features (black hair, olive skin). That wasn't what people used to look like in Roman (or Ancient Greek) times.

Freshman year in college I took a course that went over White Nationalist movements in America. Interestingly enough, they don't consider people with Italian ancestry 'white'.

The don't usually consider Jews white either.

No kidding. In my googling on this topic, I've run into more than a few anti-semitic cartoons on white supremacist sites. I can share them here if I'm promised immunity

I'm proud to be a white American because I'm Asian!

Not for me to say. As far as I'm concerned, this is a white-on-white problem. Y'all figure this out.

You forgot to mention that you're an engineer.

I'm guessing you're not planning on going to any KKK or Aryan Nation gatherings anytime soon to find out
