Being proud of who you are can be good, but if people see your tattoo of "white pride" they are going to judge you without getting to know you that you are indeed racist.  You are labeling yourself as a racist even if you don't mean to.  Everyone who sees you can see that you are white.  Why do you neeed a tattoo to say it again?  What you need to think about is why do you need to have the tatoo say that to feel that you are defining yourself to someone.  We all see races but if you see people for who they really are then you may not need that tattoo.  \n\nSince you said, "I just like being who I am," Why do you like about being white?  What did you do besides be born white to merit being proud about it?  Think about that.  Try to be proud of what you have accomplished, not what you have been born with, because that is no accomplishment at all and nothing to be proud of.  The wiser you become the more you will see this.  \n\nAlso, go rent a fantastic movie that has a bit about racist tattoos: American History X.  You will like it.\n\nTake care\n\nTake care

Tattoo's are not for everyone and anyone thinking of getting one needs to put alot of thought process into what he or she is having put on their body. For me it was a form of expression and it took five years for me to decided what I wanted and where to put it and how it would look, and I am still please with it and the way it looks. I now have three, and don't have any regrets about any of them. They still look the same as when I first got them. It is the quality of ink that is used and the artist that is doing the work. After I decided to get any of them done, I found the right artist that I could trust and felt comfortable with him. My second tattoo took five hours to do, the shading and the colors are bright and it looks exactly like I wanted and still does. I have had it for 10 years and it looks as good today as when I first got it. Bottom line if your not sure, don't do it. I hope this will help you.

i agree with you on this subject 100%. i am deffinatly FAR from racist, but you are totally right! if a white person were to shout out im proud to be white than we are looked at as racist. if this racist thing has to do with slavery. many white women/girls were also inslaved during that time. i think everybody shouldd just be happy to be alive than worry about what color their skin is. EVERYBODY is diff. an has their own unique look to them. \n\n-stephanie

people hated people because of their skin tone. I think you should be able to wear a shirt that says," I love white people, just as they should be allowed to wear theirs.  as long as your opinion(if any) does not infringe on theirs or your liberties.  if you wanna wear it wear it.

Hey Miss Anderson,\n\nI saw your bitter answer about racism that was as well-written as it was misguided.\n\nNo one denies you the right to be proud of your race. Go ahead and be it. Racism has nothing about you loving being white. Racism is about someone having a superiority complex, so much so that you believe all other races are inferior to yours and even going to a point where you want the other races to be exterminated. That is what makes you a racist. So you can have White, Black, Latino, Asian...etc racist people if any individual belonging to whatever group decides to believe in that mindset.\n\nPlease get that right. Because what you are doing is planting a seed for future racial animosity and hate justification.\n\nAnd yes, I have no problem against a holiday for whites to celebrate their culture. As long as they aren't going to be preaching anti-other races speeches. Don't forget though that the larger part of the culture we have inherited today with this civilisation is from caucasians. Usually the other cultural events for other people that you referred to, are mostly so that people don't forget the other stuff that exists out there. Afterall, variety rocks. We should not all be the same, because as an evolutionary strategem it would be disastrous.\n\nP.S. Body shots are liquor shots off somebody. Usually done in wild parties with guy on girl or vice versa. It's being hotter depends on whether you like doing it or it being done to you.

of course not!!! being proud of who you are and liking who you are doesn't make you arrogant either. It's so important to have that peace with who and what you are. The problem comes in when you have problems with people just because they are different. Embrace diversity. Be proud always of yourself...and be thankful that you are white/black/Indian/brown...because that makes you unique in every why

You don't say specifically in what ways you might be over-reacting but I'm assuming your offended by the perceived racial connotations of their statements. Have you asked what they mean when they say this to you? \nAnyway, if the statements are intended to imply some racial slant then yes, you have every right to be offended.

From personal experience, I don't think its wrong. It shouldn't matter who you love or what race they are. All that matters is that you are in a loving, caring relationship.\nBe prepared though that not everyone will feel this way and not everyone will support you. There will always be people that will have something negative to say about your choice of partner. However the world is becoming more tolerant to such issues because there are way more interracial couples and babies out there nowadays.\nWhen my parents first got married, my grandfather asked them "what are you going to do with the children?"...my mom is black and my father white...and my mother replied very smartly ..."name them".\nMy grandfather didn't even want to be seen in public at a restaurant with my mother back then but now he's gotten used to the idea of my sister and I and now loves to take us girls shopping and spoil us rotten.\nI like being mixed. I think I have the best of both worlds. I don't consider myself black and I don't consider myself white. I am mixed race. I am equally black and equally white. I wouldn't choose one or the other if I had the chance.

Well, I am neither bi-racial or multiracial, but I notice being white I still face discrimination sometimes.  Some people automatically assume I am racist, even though I am so far from it.  For example, the other day at work a Hispanic couple (their race doesn't matter to me, but it illustrates the point) came up to pay for their dinner with a credit card.  Our policy is that we ask everyone for I.D. when they are paying with a card.  It's for their protection, but also because we have seen cases of fraud.  Anyhow, he seemed a little irritated, but he showed me, finished the bill and left.  About 20 minutes later his wife called and spoke to my manager and said that I was being racist asking for I.D. because they were Hispanic.  My manager explained that asking for I.D. is a company policy and that I was only doing what I was told.  She told them next time they came in that they would receive a free dinner.  However, when she hung up, she came and told me she had watched me when they were paying and that I had done absolutely nothing wrong, and that if those people ever came in again to let her know so that she would ask them to leave.  It kinda bothered me because I know I am not racist in the slightest, but I just laughed it off because I knew it was their ignorance and not mine.  Gosh, sorry for making this so long.

I agree, we are all human, and color and race have nothing to do with it, we are all the same, I'm white and I always have to stand up for myself....you wouldn't think so, but lot's of people say we think we are better than everyone else or that we are all rednecks...but I love everyone no matter what race, we are all God's people....it's great you stood up for yourself, i would of done the same..God bless

I am so glad your proud of your heritage, too bad your an idiot to go along with it. As for your question call yourself whatever you want.

I'm white and I think that it is funny and has a point. Nothing racist just trying to point out the hypocrisy of the term "colored" and the association that comes with it.

My fiance and i got the asian symbols for love and unity on our arms.  And I have Eeyore on my shoulder blade.  He has a dragon and the ying yang symbol on one shoulder and a tiger on his chest.  I have a friend who has his mothers name and portrait on his arm.  Tattoo's are very personal and no one should tell you what to put.  and remember, you are stuck with it forever.

It is ok to be proud of what you are.  Some people may not agree with your lifestyle, and that is fine because they do not have to live you life.  I mean if you like PDA, do it, if you are a more private person be that way.  We can not control who we like and you can not turn you feeling on and off like a light switch.  Be you and be happy to be you!  And most important DONT LET OTHERS DICTATE YOUR LIFE!

You said the word "white".  You are a racist.\n\nYahoo Answers: I want this question removed.  Even though every word in it is true.  \n\nAs you know no one is allowed to stick up for whites and all other races can do anything they want.

I've seen whites call each other the c-word, but I don't call white people that word. That's up to them. Yep, whites reserve the right to use that word and all though by definition it cannot be used derogatorily towards a white person, I will continue NOT to use it towards white people. It's just out of respect and common decency to just let it be.\n\nI wish white people will look at the n-word in the same light as I do, because if we start nitpicking we're going to start getting into freedom of speech issues. \n\nBlacks and other subcultures of the United States (i.e., Italians, Latinos, Irish, Polish) also reserve the right to use their respective racial epithets within their respective groups. \n\nNow if everyone agrees to accept this and not use racial epithets against other groups of people we will all be able to move on with our lives peaceably.\n\nI have a sub-question and I hope you can answer it:\nWhy are whites offended by blacks using the n-word amongst themselves? \n(A) Is it a "I don't want to hear it used in public"-thing? \nOr\n(B) Is it a "I feel that if they can use it amongst each other, I should be able to use it towards them, too"-thing?\n\nIf it's B, tough noogies, no one black person in their right mind is going to co-sign that BS.\n\nGood day!
