I wouldn't think you're racist (and I'm not white, if that matters to you). But honestly, I'd think you're a little obnoxious. It's sort of your own personal thing, and doesn't affect anyone else, yet you wrote so much about it as if your opinion is so profound and important, it's not. Do you ever get annoyed when people post something like "I'm so proud of graduating college" and you're like "who gives a fuq?" Well, this is 1000 times more obnoxious because at least graduating from college is something you accomplished. Saying you're proud of your race is like saying you're proud to be good looking or some other thing you were born with. How can anyone read that and not shake their head. Your ethnic background is not even something that affects your life, no less the lives of other people to bother reading 250 words about it (I'm guessing, that's how long it looks). But I digress, it's not racist. The fact that you're proud of your culture and heritage is not really even related to race. I'm proud to be American but I'm not Native American. But I suppose some people might think you're racist because why wouldn't anyone post something like this unless to imply some sort of racial message. (i.e. whites should be proud) It's not that white people can't be proud of their culture, it's just that white people have a history of taking that too far. You understand this right? It's not that burning a cross is inherently evil, but there's a history behind it. That's why it's illegal to do so. Understand? You should try to see things beyond the black and white. But to re-iterate, I personally have no problem with what you said.
