It’s like being proud that you are left handed. It’s not something you had any part of achieving so taking pride in it is stupid. And it seems there are a lot of people new to Kia2 thinking not being proud of some stupid uncontrollable trait also means to be ashamed of some stupid uncontrollable trait. It doesn’t.
on the one hand you have cultures who didnt advance past the stone age until other civilizations arrived
on the other you have those cultures that created monuments that lasted thousands of years, who created art and literature and philosophy and systems of government, and yet you are supposed to feel no pride in belonging to one group over another?
it is true that just belonging to one particular culture or race doesnt make you, yourself automatically better than people of another culture or race, still i dont see a reason why feeling proud of your culture is wrong or stupid.
Because it’s the same as being proud you rolled well on a craps table, or got dealt the best possible hand in poker. It was all chance. Nothing wrong with celebrating a cultures achievements. But don’t take pride in the accomplishments of those who came before you, you didn’t make those great things happen. Just like you bare no shame in any thing awful your culture/country/ancestors may have done in history.
If you need the feeling of pride in something do something great yourself. Don’t rely on those who came before you.
Nope most of my ancestry is traced back to the uk and maybe some French and German post colonization. Neither proud or ashamed of it. It’s just path different genes took to make me.
It must be tough going through life hating a whole group of people who you claim are weak and inferior and yet at the same time have so much power to destroy society and exert control over governments.
The only person with a big nose here is you. It’s also red and honks when you squeeze it….. because you are a clown.
Oh no the anti semite can’t believe another white person disagrees with them so they must be a jew… it’s not even an insult. You are just wrong. I think I realize where the stereotype of Jews being cheap comes from though. They live in the anti semites heads rent free.
My handedness has been both a hinderance and a secret skill. My brain had to rewire itself to navigate a right-oriented world, which gave my abstract thinking skills a real boost. I am also adept to the arts. I've found success in the creative fields, mostly writing and music. I can also play six instruments. My handedness has been a pretty big factor in my life, unlike a mole. But you're just being a snarky dickhead kid anyway.
And you are being willfully obtuse to the point I made. Being proud of an accomplishments is good and fine. Being proud over shit you had no control over is dumb. You are not proud of being left hand dominant you are proud of the accomplishments you have made while being left hand dominant. Being proud of being left handed in the nature of the post I made would include being proud to be left handed because of the accomplishments of other left handed people. That is stupid. Your left handedness had nothing to do with their accomplishments. Taking pride in their accomplishments is like self appointing yourself a participation trophy on the merit of a dice roll making you left handed as well.
It’s not something you had any part of achieving so taking pride in it is stupid.
And yet being left handed massively effected my life and abilities, enough so that I do feel accomplished in adapting and overcoming the hardships that it brought about however minor they were in the grand scheme.
Almost exactly like something all races might go through!
The hard ship of being sought after to play baseball? Or the awkwardness of driving a stick shift in the US? Coming from an ambidextrous person I don’t see being left hand dominate as neither something that would be a hardship or major benefit other than pitching and hitting in baseball.
And your achievements would be made by you actually achieving something personally. Your achievements mean shit to any other left handed person. Any left handed person who is proud of your achievements because they too are left handed is stupid.
It’s like being proud to be white because Henry Ford came up with the assembly line and was also white. You didn’t achieve that. Stop taking pride in the accomplishments of greater men. Unless you want to take on collective embarrassment or guilt done by lesser men you also share a trait with. Jimmy Carter was an idiot who turned over the Panama Canal and he was white. Or any of Joe Biden’s colossal fuck ups done over the past 8 months. You want to take the blame for his stupid accomplishments too?
So you have no idea the struggle when you have no option but to use stuff specifically made not for you, but you think you do and dismiss it. Instead you literally have the best of all worlds available to you, but think other people don't really have problems when they aren't so lucky. Well done, that's the dumbest shit I've seen all day.
How about failing classes because your hand dragging across paper smears the pencil so significantly its entirely a black smudge? Numerous shop tools made for the comfort/accessibility of right handed people, leading to incredibly awkward, painful or unsafe usage when in a Left hand? Being openly and constantly screamed at as a child because you "aren't doing it right" by authority figures?
Little shit like that adds up to little bits of pride when you overcome it, even if its a minor part of life. I wouldn't even put it in my biography its so minor, but its your dumb example.
I don't really care about people's whiteness. I care that you are so blind you can't see the difference between "I'm proud of how I was born" and "I'm proud that I overcame struggles that came about because of how I was born."
You have no clue about the struggles of right handed people or ambidextrous people. It’s the same dumb argument about white privilege. A White person does not know what it’s like to be black and never will and neither does a black person know what it’s like to be white, or a man on what it’s like to be a woman or a woman a man. You want to jump into an oppression olympics go for it. Point being you had no control over being left handed. You do not share in any accomplishments made by other left handed people and they don’t share yours. You want to be proud of an accomplishment you made good for you. But being proud of being left hand dominant is dumb. Just like being proud or ashamed of any other trait you personally had no control over.

I'm proud that I'm left-handed..
Might as well be proud of a mole on your body or a birth mark too in that case
