It gets on my nerves that people always say that race is non existant or other crap like that. I know racism is wrong but what is wrong with being proud of you own race/ethnicity. Also why do people consider hispanic or middle eastern people white?

Queen of black ppl: There is nothing wrong with being white. But there is also nothing wrong with being a man. Wouldn't you be offended if you were mistaken for being a man?

nothing is wrong with it it's just that all the goons who run around claiming that their race is the only one ruin it for everyone else so you can't say anything without someone pitching a fit about racist this or racist that as for why they look at hispanics or those from the middle east like that i have no idea i don't myself

Iraq in particular, is part of the Western world, not Eastern so lets get that corrected.
As far as race is concerned there will always be problems. The white population has the higer IQ therefore it will be more sucessful and be looked up to, others will be criticized and looked down upon. The poverty in US can be traced to lower IQ in the slums. That is a fact. So race indeed is a determining factor in judging people. It cannot be ignored.
Hispanics are in general, greater than 50% genetically White and middle eastern are near identical to whites genetically and IQ wise. American Blacks, on average 21% white or more in many cases.
All this has to do with ages of sucess by the white race and as the world has now shrunk and more mixing has taken place, its more noticable.

I believe that it is ok for a person to say they have white,black,yellow,brown,green,blue,red pride. But i don't think it is ok to say they have white or even black power. That means that you think that your race is more dominant. No race is dominent, we al have the same capabilities and storage for knowledge. I'm Filipino and some of my friends say that we are the dominant race because we have an asian mind, hispanic charm, and a black....... You don't wanna know. Well physical and mental features are in the individual, not the race.

Nothing wrong with being proud of who you are.
However there is something wrong when you say that you are better than others because of your race.
