Um, I disagree. I think some elements may be true but not on the whole.
For example: In my school, there were scholarships for Descendants of Confederate soldiers and Union soldiers (I thought that was neat), Daughters of the American Revolution (female descendant of the early settlers). Part of the reason for these endowments or whatever is because many of those minority groups are underfunded etc. I don't see a problem with that. It doesn't takle away from anyone. There are many Latinos who are white by the way. Latino is not a race, not even an ethnicity. Most of these are privately funded anyways so what's the big deal?
There are lot's of white pride groups. I think maybe the problem is how you defined it. For example, St Patrick's Day parades celebrate "white pride", and Oktoberfest etc. There is the Sons of Italy, Erin Go Braugh, Croatian student Union, Latvians for Christ, Campus Crusaders etc...all "white pride". I believe the problem is with the term "white pride".
Maybe because it has negative associations (I'm not saying rightly or wrongly) or something so people would be wary of "white pride" groups. But as far as I know, no one's cried foul at the Francophile Club or screamed rascist at the Anglo Student Association.
No, I think it's not as bad as you think it is (IMO). Take another look. I say go celebrate your white pride. Nothing wrong with that. (Unless you're burning crosses on someone's lawn).
I agree, for minorities or whomever to make derogatory remarks (like in the above post) is wrong, just plain wrong. But let's not paint everyone with the same brush either.
