Are you proud of your ethnicity?

i'm proud of all of you guys.

Really don't think about it. It may sound corny, but I honestly just see myself as American.

What's so special about your skin colour or where you're from?

I think it's dumb to be proud of your ethnicity.

I'm Polish and Italian mix, what's not to love? Pasta and booze :D

You're either a gangster or somebody who works as an incredibly cheap labourer

Not really no. Maybe when I'm older I'll feel differently.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"] pretty much this. once you're a generation or two in, your blood is usually so diluted with other ethnicities and budweiser that it really only makes sense to call yourself american.comp_atkins

Being proud of your ethnicity leads to Plastic Paddies.

Fuking Plastic Paddies.

Heck yeah. The history of mine is filled with examples of conquering, enslaving, and just otherwise reigning supreme over the lesser ones. Totally alpha.

I like to imagine proud people with their elbows straight out talking long steps.KiIIyou

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Agreed. I think we're enough generations into the US' life that it's about time it be considered an ethnicity.

Pirate700

That's cultural, not genetic.

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"] plus.. it's not like you can take a 2nd or 3rd generation american, even if they're for example 100% irish, and plop them over in ireland without everyone there knowing they're not irish... boston irish is not irish, brooklyn italian is not italian.....it's all just american... weird, weird, american...Storm_Marine

Your ethnicity and 3$ will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks.

[QUOTE="Storm_Marine"]

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]:lol: Agreed.

Yes but that's not the case here.

I like being white, I guess.

Actually you're right, 'ethnicity' as a English word has a different meaning than I thought. Damnit, I should know better.

[QUOTE="Storm_Marine"]

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]Well technically everything had to be a new ethnicity at one time. Europeans didn't magically appear in Europe.

Pirate700

Yes but that's not the case here.

Yeah I guess so. Sometimes I think in the wrong languages. :/

No, my family is originally from Spain. My family is the reason slavery, religion and genocide exist >.>Fightingfan

Yes

I don't think pride should come into the question when it's over something that hasn't been accomplished or earned. I don't think people should be proud of being a male, being black, being blue-eyed or having ginger hair.

I think pride should come with things like diplomas, job placements or a successful relationship.

However I will comment that I think I could identify with the sub-culture I follow (Hip Hop) more if I was black. I'm white. I don't let this get to me or at all bother me.

I'm proud of my overall sexiness, even though I merely inherited teh sexy gene

U just jealous of the sexy green eyes we're talking about in Unreal's thread.
