>"This is my culture" or "This is my heritage" or "This is
> my race" is divisive and hateful.
What you perceive as hateful and divisive is, IMHO, an important
statement of individuality an empowerment.
We live in a world of easily replicated experience. Those that control
the means of replication control the portrayal of that experience.
You said that you would feel foolish saying you are proud to be white.
That is not because you aren't allowed to have pride. It's because your
pride in yourself has never been compromised by a dominating (other)
culture.
