Personally, I think a lot of harm has been done by people thinking that they were doing good by promoting racial pride. Today is Pączki day. I'm mostly of Polish heritage. I made it a point to eat one this morning. However, no matter how much I enjoyed it, I take no pride in being Polish. Pride should be reservered for accomplishments, not matters of birth. IMO whites in the US often make exceptions for minorities expressing racial pride, probably due to feelings of guilt due to being socially privledged. However, I think it is misguided. Racial pride is arbitrary and devisive. It keeps people apart and ignorant of each other.
