"I'm proud to be white. I bet no one passes this on because they are scared to be called a racist."

103. My answer: "I'm proud I don't have to work as hard to be considered an equal due to my skin color.

"I'm proud that I'm less likely to be targeted by police and other security personnel because of my skin color."
"I'm proud that my kids are less likely to be disciplined or suspended from school because of their skin color."
"I'm proud that when I clean up and take the proper medications, I appear "normal" and "less threatening" to juries, judges, and creditors because I'm part of the majority and will be given the benefit of the doubt rather than have to depend on the law to be treated like a citizen."

This isn't like saying "I'm proud to be <FITB> cultural heritage." Heck, I think it's actually worse than saying "proud to be Southern" or "proud to be a redneck".
Being "White" doesn't have the same common historical connotation that being Black, Hispanic or Native American does in this country. In fact, there is not really a monolithic White culture not here, not in Europe, and not in any of the former European colonies. It's like calling everyone from the Asian sub-continent "Oriental", no matter their looks, culture, or religion. What does Oriental mean (other than the Latin/European term meaning "from the East&quot ?

There's a White social and legal Privilege that can be greater or lesser due to class, but there is not a White Culture.

I'm sorry to say those FB friends are idiots.
