You could be proud of being French or German or Italian....what is white? a skin color...
I see lots of irish pride around St. Pats, or german pride around Oktoberfest, or French pride whenever an army surrenders.
Brown people as you refer to are often proud of either their African or Latino or Indian or Carribbean heritage..
So yes be proud of being Italian or Irish or whatever your heritage is.
White is not a heritage...
The far left hates white people
The far left encourages racism against white people.
