They are definitely lobbying for immigration. They are not claiming to be superior.

Even if all of that were true (I'm not conceding that, but let's go with it for a moment) you do realize that "I have a right to exist in this country" is different from "you do NOT have a right to exist in this country"
"My life matters" is different from "your life doesn't matter"
Minority advocacy groups are advocating that their life/existence/culture should be allowed to exist in this country. White supremacists are saying that ONLY their life/existance/culture should be allowed to exist. Big difference.

None are specifically WASPy, but there's already a whole lot of options:
March - Irish American heritage month https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/02/29/presidential-proclamation-irish-american-heritage-month-2016
March - Greek Independence and American friendship day of celebration https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/03/24/presidential-proclamation-greek-independence-day-national-day
April - National Tartan day http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=76905 (Looks like Bush was the last one who liked the Scots...)
May - Older Americans month https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/04/28/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-may-2017-older-americans-month

October - Polish American heritage month https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/WCPD-1996-10-14/html/WCPD-1996-10-14-Pg2016.htm (I guess the Poles have fallen out of favor too.)

WASPs can and do celebrate their distinctive regional cultures. Yankee pride, and, yes, southern pride. Appalachian pride. Mayflower descent, descent from Washington's officers, etc. Most WASPs can find ways to celebrate their pride.

Regardless of skin color, race, country of origin, we can all take pride in our worthwhile accomplishments and those of others. We can also make amends for our mistakes. That picture of so-called white pride represents the worst of our society.

Thank you for helping decontstruct "white pride" The claim that whites are not allowed to have pride in their ancestry is demonstrably false. "Kiss me Im Polish" "God made the Irish number 1" etc, etc. Ethnic pride has been encouraged for specific cultures (whose participants are white) for decades now. "White" pride is about something else. Its about defining yourself as not a person of color. Its about identifying with white privilege, or maybe claiming discrimination against whites. But it is absolutely NOT a celebration of culture.

Oktoberfest, Greek festivals, Feast of San Gennaro, etc are all "white ethnic" or:heritage" festivals that people celebrate all over the U.S. with pride and without issues about racism. Yet they don't say "white pride" at these events.
"White pride" is a whole different sick ideology. It's about uniting disaffected white people against those who don't look like them. It's also completely antithetical to our Constitution and rule of law that "all men are created equal" as citizens of the U.S.

I am not of british descent, and I enjoy ren faires. But they arent really pride things. Highland games, though, maybe are.
