Weren't you born in the US, Gene? That would you an American as much as anybody else. Proud to be American in itself belies no racial message. I think you're confusing heritage with color with nationality, which are distinct concepts.
Also, I simply can't figure out how to make one of those little scrolling banners that says, "Not Particularly Proud of Anything."

I agree that American belies no racial message, where the previous statement would, that is why I diverted to/suggested "American".
Perhaps other members here are confusing heritage and nationality...that's how/why q's referring to color versus heritage come up. Race, ethnicity, nationality, heritage always seem to be used synonymously when they should not be....the word "pinoy" should not infer color, and yet "white" does (unfortunately)...
I don't think I am confusing anything...as my nationality is "American" and my heritage is "Filipino/Pinoy".
Then there are also the sub-sets/terms as: Filipino-American, Mexican-American, etc....

Yes, US born...and yes I do consider myself American. I was replying to craig's comment of "proud to be white"...

we were due for it. the tension is building in both this post and the lil mama post. every few months e60.net has a 9 page race discussion where everyone who is not white gets all bent out of shape and every idiot who is white has to add to theiir post "i have a black friend".
thats what all white people say to get out of a racial bind.
