What is the Right Way to Be White? -1 of 3

A project I did for my school's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Project (UROP). It concerns the lack of a cohesive white identity in this country and the problematic nature of whiteness. How does one be white without being racist? How does one "be" white at all? It consists of interviews with professors

why is ok for other ethnic backgrounds to have pride in their race but when a white person such as myself agrees with white pride, people see it as racist, i believe everyone should have pride in their own race, race is not just skin deep it flows throughout your body, each race has its good and its bad, i also believe that you shouldnt have relationships with other races keep your genes in your own ethnic background, and i have black friends that also believe the same i do, EastCoastWhitePride

I love being white. I especially like white women; their bodies, their hair, the way they dance and their eyes.

@ORIONaryanpride because their can never ben such a thing as white pride because there is no white culture. Italians are not the same as irish you mean. Those are specific cultures. Say, I'm irish and I'm proud or i'm italian and i'm proud and nobody will call u racist. it's only when you say that u're white and ur proud that u get negative feedback because white is not a culture. Black, as in African American, though IS a culture and therefore blacks in America can say i'm black and I'm proud.

@STOMPER88 you see the same in Asia. South east asians lives in the tropics where live was easy in the early days. The chinese, on the other hand, lived in cold, harsh lands where organizing was critical. Today, the SE Asians are considered lazy by the Chinese, who basically lives to work. But they were both just products of their environments. The SE asians are not genetically lazier. It was just hard to become hardworking when an abundance of food was everywhere.

@STOMPER88 I think that is an oversimplication when u say us whites have achieved so much with so little while africans are surrounded by abundance but have achieved little. We are simply products of our environments. We in Europe HAD to develop strong organisational skills bcuz otherwise we would perish. We had little resources but had to plan and organize just to get by. An african tribe, if stranded in Iceland in ancient times would have developed the same organisation skills..

[thenameless86]

then act human;

look, i am a sort a bigot if you insist on calling it that, but my people and many others' lived contently until the whites came.

i am defending life, the only thing that i am concerned about is to live...and protect my people from those who are only concerned about money and power.

...and who just happens to be the richest and most powerful country in the world?

you've just proven yourself to be ignorant and bitter, and nothing else. your use of the word race in this context is racist in and of itself; we are all part of the human race, and we are all the same. our ethnicity's may differ, but there is no one ethnicity that has "no reason to live other than to destroy blindly". truly, i pity you and your descent into bigotry.
