I do not feel any prejudice towards people of any race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or spirituality. I believe so strongly that all humans should be treated fairly and equally. I have given up friendships and relationships because of this belief.\n\nThere are so few things I feel are worth standing up and fighting for - against anyone at any time...this is one of those things.\n\nI hope your question isn't asked because you are struggling to understand why someone is discriminating towards you, but I fear it is. My sincerest wish is that you find the answers you are looking for and are able to know that no matter what prejudicial thing anyone says or does to you - NO MATTER WHAT, it's never about you. Hate and ignorance are ALWAYS about the person speaking or acting. Know that, try to educate them if the opportunity is there and be confident and calm in the knowledge that it is NOT ABOUT YOU.

no that doesn't make you racist...   especially if you are just showing pride in your own race and heritage.. your racist when you think a certain race is better, or think another race is inferior to yours, etc.

Perhaps you would find more on the topic of invisibility if you looked under British colonialism, I assume you are doing a literary degree, and that also the term "whiteness" or "white" as this speaks about the invisibility of being white and obtaining privilege in that fashion.

Wow, a good philisophical question. I believe it can be achieved, for there are at least two different kinds of pride. Are you proud of your family? Of course you are. But you may not flaunt them in everyone's face. You may not think they're better than everyone else. (Well, you may, but let's just say you don't for a moment.)\nYou can feel 'pride' in who you are, without feeling better than anyone else. \nI agree that it sure seems to conflict with each other, but you could try it sometime. Just hold your head high, but do nice things, like open the door for someone, be nice, etc... It can be done, I'm sure of it.

Oh for pity's sake!  Of course it's okay.  How is declaring your pride for your nation going to offend anyone?  If someone does claim to be offended, it's only because hand-wringing liberals, who are terrified of being labelled bigots, have branded anything other than fawning deference to other cultures as racism.  If you constantly worry about causing offence to a self-pitying, thin-skinned minority, then you'll spend your life tip-toeing around people and never asserting yourself or stating your true feelings.\n\nShould you apologise for being English or supporting England?  Of course not.  There are certain people who feel resentful because their ancestors were wronged by the Empire and want the English to hang their heads in shame for ever more, but that's just revisionist nonsense.  This sort of brainless mindset would have us constantly extolling the virtues of others, while considering any pride in our own character or achievements as arrogant.  Be proud.  Fly your flag.

I like being me, I have no other frame of reference to think about being any other race than I am.\n\nI was born a cat, and I will live as a cat until the day I die.\n\nAnd I will be happy that the creator of all things on earth made me who I am.\n\nBeing born as a butterfly may have been nice, but they don't get to do all the fun things I can do as a cat.\n\nJust be happy that you are who the creator made you to be, and develop yourself to be the best person you can be every day, and you won't have to wish or wonder how life is like being someone different.

Seeing as how you decided to use Yahoo Answers as a forum, allow me a moment to retort. \n\nIt seems that you are a bit confused....and I understand; you feel passionately about your point of view. I hope that you know that the people you've described here I'm sure can counter every single proclamation you've made, but will it help foster and facilitate a conversation that helps us all learn to understand each other? \n\nWill it help you to see and appreciate the many differences between our cultures that make us all ultimately the part of ONE HUMAN RACE? \n\nI hope so. I don't feel that only whites can be racists. That would be like saying that only white people are rich or educated. Its a blanket statement and its fear and ignorance that divides us. \n\nAt our core, we are all the same. We want to be safe and happy and live in a safe , thriving environment and wants the best for our families, friends, and loved ones. \n\nI appreciate you putting this question out here after all. Hopefully it would foster a conversation- the first step in understanding each other.

Never have I experienced racism and have been with many different cultures.  I am physically challenged and I believe that this helps people of various colours to identify with me and vice versa.  Sad part is that I have never experienced any feelings of being a little different from any of those of different races but have felt the experience of prejudice and/or fear from people of the while race from being physically different from them

You should feel really fortunate for having been born white. Be glad that people don't automatically assume the worst about you. Don't be bitter.\nUnfortunately, minorities have been the targets of systematic oppression in this country for centuries. Dark skinned people have had many doors slammed in their faces based on their skin color alone, and still do. These programs are aimed at opening new doors of opportunity by considering the limitations placed on people of color and what achievements have been made in spite of those limitations. Keep in mind, there isn't a scholarship waiting for every little minority child. There are still qualifications to be met. And there is still a lot of unmet need.\nLook for scholarships aimed at: people in your family's income bracket, geographic area, who attended school in your district, with your religious affiliation, members of school clubs and organizations, children of union members, children of employees of some firms, children of alumni to some colleges and universities, children of parents with certain occupational affiliations, and people of your ancestral background (i.e. Welsh, Irish, Italian, etc.), to name a few. For more info go to http://www.fastweb.com/.\nAlso consider employers that offer tuition reimbursement. That's how I earned my way through college.

Didn't we go through this yesterday? What do you want - a pity card for being a racist? Not happening. Get over it. You'd be surprised at how rarely us "whiteys" really give a giant rats butt what race you are. For God's sake - most people interview for more than one position, but only someone who chooses to see themselves as a victim take it so personally. I think you expected them to hire you BECAUSE you're a minority, and now you're pissed off. Quit being a victim and take some responsibility for yourself.

No, i'm afraid i'm not, deep in my heart of hearts. I can't seem to completely shake the predjudice i was taught as a child.  There is still a little voice somewhere in my head that reminds me at times. I guess the important thing is to honestly try and not give up on attempts to banish ones' prejudices, being aware that others probably have intolerances toward us too. More knowledge is needed.

No matter what race you are, you are beautiful. But sorry to say, no matter how good you, are someone will always judge you bad. But look in the bright side, no matter how bad you think you and your race is, somebody will always find something likeable about you. No matter what race you are. \nYou cannot change your race, just be proud of it. No one is a better race than yours, and your race is no better than theirs. \n \nI do believe that you know you are beautiful so don't dwell on this question any further.
