If you're white and have pride in your people, culture, heritage, ancestry, etc... do you think minorities see you as a racist?

Minorities may see you that way, but you are DEFINITELY not. You can have a pride in your heritage even if they've made some mistakes. I'm German and I'm proud of it. I feel bad about the whole Hitler Holocaust crap, but that doesn't mean that I can't be proud of all the good things that Germany has done in the past.

Why should anyone be ashamed to be white? Your parents had sex, you were born, you are who you are by no choice of your own, racially. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
However, a double standard exists for white people in the U.S. today. Any ethnic group or person can speak out publicly about their ethnic pride and heritage without fear of reprisals...except white people. White people that speak out about pride in their ancestry and heritage are instantly labeled "racist".

Hell no you are not a racist and get that sh*t out of your head. See, it is now accepted to bash white males without limitations. White males are responsible for every problem on the planet and have persecuted everyone so as compensation to all.... yeah, whatever.
The truth is if you have pride, you don't really need to shout it all the time. If you see a person or a group waving their flag all the time and screaming that they are what they are too loudly - they are probably covering up some sort of deficiency.

No, not really racist. But are white people really "your people?" Or are Americans your people? Or British, or French? Many white Americans dislike the people of France, for example, many of who are white.
As mentioned by others, the political correctness of modern times really is ridiculous. Just don't bring up the idea of a "White History Month," now THAT'S crossing the line :P

no, you're not a racist. If you're pride makes you discriminate, hate or just dislike another color then maybe.
Be proud of your ancestors. They came to this country and made it what it is. working 24/7 to make something better and all without asking the government for a handout. Unfortunatley all this PC and our liberal governement is breaking our pride down and making us feel ashamed. why? what is their vision for this country. oh yea, everyone lives in a similar home, makes the same income and relies on the government for everything without having an identity. Socialism.

Im sorry but I would have to say that is a racist question. There are plenty racist statements by blacks on here as well. That would be like asking you if are you ashamed of the overwhelming prison population of blacks? Get over yourself!

Yes. I am as you describe. White and proud (my god, call the racist police!!!). I've been called racist before but mostly on here by minorities and a few hardcore libs.

No, it's when you start saying how you're superior then others and erect flaming crucifixs outside peoples houses that they get pissed off.
And the race you are born into and have no choice over is nothing to be proud of! Big deal, you're white, get over it. I don't have to prattle on about what race i am, and hopw i am so choked up with pride over myself.

No you are grateful for who God made you,and you know you cant do any thing about that.So be fond of who you are and respect others who are glad to be who they are lest they are evil and racist.
The white racist problem wil not go away until the black and immigrant racism simmers.People who blame our problems on the flags,let it go!

Just because you're not ashamed of it, of course not. Nobody should be ashamed of the color of his skin.
But all this "white pride" stuff is racist. This wikipedia article might make clear what I mean:
