White groups that promote pride in their particular ethnicity are all around us, they just don't use that particular phrasing because it's been coopted by the bigots. Chicago has a city wide yearly celebration of Irish people on St. Patrick's Day. The town where I grew up had a Scottish league. There's a Basque club not far from where I sit typing this. I don't hear a chorus of voices objecting to those groups celebrating their heritage.
"White Pride", on the other hand, seems more a celebration of skin tone than any ethnic heritage. There is no "white race," there is merely a group of ethnicities that share some superficial physical characteristics and a common continent of origin.
Racism in any form, from any group is bad. Celebrating one's culture is a good thing. There is no "white culture" so there isn't anything there to celebrate except for one's skin tone, and even that is highly variable.
Not that it matters, but I'm a white woman of English / Scottish descent.
