NP. I agree with you, but there might be a point to be made here. To some extent, [b]white Americans are not allowed the same pride of socio-identity/heritage as everyone else[/b]. So that leads to them acting out in unfortunate ways, politically and otherwise. [/quote]

Eh? What's Saint Patrick's Day, for example?[/quote]

[b]A generic holiday for wearing green and drinking?[/b] It may feel special for some whites, but I don't know lots of white people who think it is all about honoring their heritage. Do you find there to be a lot of white people who take that holiday quite seriously?[/quote]

No. It is an Irish-American holiday. Maybe next year go to a St. Patrick's Day parade? There's one in Gaithersburg.[/quote]

Lol. As someone who used to live in Boston, I enjoy your attempt at condescion. For sure, there are Irish Americans who find the holiday important for reasons of heritage. As a percentage of whites in the U.S., that's gonna be a very small number. Trust that whites in general aren't uniting in pride every March (except maybe for the NCAA tournament).[/quote]
