Racial Pride

Racial Pride: What does newpol think?

I see plenty of people proclaiming they are proud to be asian, or proud to be black, and a few claiming they are proud to be white.

Here's some examples from youtube:

Is there any reason to be proud of your race? What is it?

Is that racist?

Is it racist to have pride in being 'azn'?

Is it racist to have pride in being white?

Is it racist to have pride in being black?

Why does society vigorously attack those who proclaim pride in being white, while supporting those who proclaim pride in being black?

If it is 'ok' or 'acceptable' to have pride in being black, why is it not 'ok' or 'acceptable' to have pride in being white? Is this logical and or consistent?

Here's a somewhat interesting youtube video I saw the other day on this topic by some guy named TheAmazingAtheist:

I'd like to hear anything relevant to this line of thought.  Post away.

What we refer to as 'racial' pride is really 'cultural' pride.

Asians aren't proud of being Asian because of attributes common to all Asians - those don't exist. Not all Asians are good at math, etc.

They're proud because they love the aspects of their culture which make them stand out, which they consider to be superior to other cultures. They reckon anime is better than the flintstones. Ramen is better than pasta. That type of stuff. Makes sense, right? ;)

I'm proud to be part of my own subculture - the snobby intelligentsia. I love my greater understanding of literature, science and the arts, and my extension into Asian, Indian and European culture. I just don't have a corresponding racial background I can use to identify it :P
