You can be proud to be White, although I think it's kind of stupid to be proud of your race since you weren't handed a color wheel before birth to choose it, nor was it an upgrade for being good in a previous life. Most people who have done something with their lives prefer to be proud of their achievements.

Are you allowed to be proud of being white? Probably not, though it depends on where you are. You would likely be labeled racist. Personally, I think that being proud of the color of your skin is faintly ridiculous. After all, what is there to be proud of? You didn't choose it. Having a particular skin color doesn't mean you are a particular type of person. It doesn't even necessarily mean you have a particular cultural background or heritage. I think I rather disapprove of anyone who says they are proud to be a certain color, whatever that color happens to be. It is idiotic, and the root of all racism. [Also, in reply to nina3vedi@sbcglobal.net's post: Caucasian is not the correct term for a white person. It is only the correct term for a person of Russian/Eastern European descent, as it refers to natives of the Caucaus region. White is fine, unless you prefer to say 'of European descent'.]

Unfortunately no because everyone will say your a white supremest. You should be proud of being yourself forget what color you are. Just be proud of your actions and your accomplishments lumping yourself in with the entire white race is not a true reflection of yourself. A lot of white people have done great things and a lot of them have done bad things so I wouldn't attach my self pride to the entire race.

I don't think proud is a good word, rather I would say to love who you are and be thankful for your abilities, always trying to be a better person. Pride often turns into arrogance, not a good trait in anyone.

Be proud of who YOU are and not your race. Be peoud of your accomplishments and caring for others of all races. Race profiling is bad,it only causes others to NOT like you. Be proud of being a HUMAN BEING and realize we are all in this life, together, to make a world.

Yes you should be able to. Yes you should be. I would never want to be black. Any other color would be fine with me. I am white too and I am PROUD! :)

Why be proud of your color, you didn't make yourself that color!
God made you that color....
The only thing man can be proud of is what he makes of himself!
