I agree with the sentiment – there’s no reason to be proud of being white – but I can’t believe “just don’t be white!” pops up on here semi-regularly. That’s just not an option for a lot of people, because you can’t dictate how others perceive you. It’s like telling someone who’s 6’6" to not be tall.
don’t be white, white is a racist US census statistic

It’s still a skin colour, I just don’t regard it as a cultural entity, much less a “racial” one
