Which brings up a point - why even be proud of you race? As far as I know, no one accomplished anything because they were white or black or French or German. They accomplished something as a person. For every N example of a great person of race Y, I'm sure you can find N*99 people who haven't done crap. I can't take credit for Einstein just because he and I are both white, nor should I feel bad that Hitler was white. I can understand being proud of your country, but what does that have to do with blood or race? If I fall in love with South Korea and decide to move there and immerse myself in the culture and become a citizen, etc - I assume I can consider myself a proud South Korean - but it certainly doesn't have anything to do with my blood. Now that I think of it - one could say that in many cases, there is a close ratio of race to country, and America is probably the exception. What do others think? -Ray ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
