The minute a minority leaves his/her house, that person is bombarded with White culture - from the language being spoken (English), to the food, clothes, entertainment, etc..
So? This is still white majority America in many parts of the US.
If I moved to Uganda, what would I be bombarded with when I left my house?
Caucasian night? Are these people celebrating Armenian, Georgian or Azerbaijani cultures etc? I've known people of these origins that don't care for their regional name being used by just anyone.

Don't you get it, the night was meant as a farce, a sort of White Men Can't Jump night.
" Our night was to include Wonder Bread on burgers with mayonnaise, clips from shows like Friends and Seinfeld and trying to solve the vertical leaping challenge."
A dumb name for the event, but only the super-sensitive and thin-skinned would be offended or consider it racist or bigoted, or, heaven forbid, a putdown of Armenian, Georgian or Azerbaijani cultures.

Blacks in America identify with being black because their history and ethnicities were wiped out through slavery and its aftermath. There is nothing connecting me to other white people in this country. I am proud of my Irish heritage but see no reason to collectively identify with other "white people".
It's idiotic and bigoted.
Reverse racism at its finest Or is it just racism, pure and simple? Blacks certainly don't have a patent on it. And whites have been the target of cruelty, just as blacks have.
I think people should be proud of personal accomplishments.
That being said, let people celebrate their heritage, It is not like white pride = white power.
I personally am very happy with myself, I also am very proud of my heritage and where i came from. I have been loved by parents, grand parents, uncles and aunts, they are white, mixed white/Japanese, Hawaiians, they are all productive members of the society.
My ancestors were very accomplished people.
I have friends who believe in white pride, but not white power. I can understand why they are proud. Their ancestors were American heroes happened to be white, so it makes sense that they celebrate their heritage.
One white friend of mine has said that white pride has nothing to do with white power, it is crazy to treat others like criminals simply because of the color of their skin. He definitely should be proud of where he came from, his ancestors were war heroes, scientists, etc. No wonder he himself is an awesome person, he has good genes.
Dr Ben Carson = superior. If he says he is a proud black man, I would agree too.

Are they serving fried chicken and watermelon on African-American heritage day and trying to solve the swimming challenge?
This is the kinda fun ya can only get away with white stereotypes.

The concept of race was invented by European imperialists-people only identified based on ethnicity and culture before this. Even all "white people" were not included in the elusive "white race" for decades in this country-Irish, Italians, Jews.
The entire history of white pride is racist. What is wrong with white people being proud of their culture-even if it is good ol American? I see no reason to be proud of being in a "skin color club" that not everyone with the same skin is even included in. Unlike other races, historically the "white race" has only been used to exclude people and separate-even from other white people.

This is bigotry against Europeans and revisionist history and frankly nonsense. Race classification was "invented" by scientist the same as species and subspecies was. It's basically the same classification system. What is the difference between "ethnicity and culture" and 'race'? Nothing except race is more inclusive and encompasses many ethnicities and cultures based on scientific measurement used on all living species. What you're really pointing out is whites don't have tolerance for whites who they perceive as trouble due to class and behavior.

More nonsense. White people do not celebrate their complexion. They celebrate their history, culture and heritage. White people hold other white people accountable, and yes there are classes. Europeans lived in kingdoms for much of their history with several classes. All cultures have classes. India has them, Africa, Asia. It always existed and always will exist.
