I'm starting this poll because I've seen some here make the argument that if it's ok for black people to express pride in their race and not be deemed racist, then whites should be able to as well. Ok, on the surface, that seems reasonable, but digging into it a littler further I started thinking about taking pride in whatever race you happen to be and it seems kinda odd. Does it mean you deserve some of the credit if someone has done something good, if you're of the same race? Does it really make sense to take pride in a physical trait you had zero control over? How is being of any race an accomplishment in itself?
Anyway, working on the poll. Oh, and I thought about not making the votes public, but I figured someone who is proud of their race wouldn't be shy in answering an unapologetic "yes".
