Considering it's just the way I was born, I see no reason to be proud or ashamed of it.

I think my heritage is a lot more interesting and pride-worthy than my skin color.  Pretty sure that's how most white people feel, you're not proud to be white you're proud to be Irish or whatever.

this, and I'm not a fan of having opinions on entire groups of people.

I'm not really sure why I should be proud of my race or even really identify with it. I'm proud of being Danish, but my race is not really a big part of my identity, it's like my brown hair or hazel eyes. Are there a lot of people who are proud of having brown hair? That doesn't mean I'm not happy being White, I like being north European White it makes life easier for me, in Denmark it serve as a visual shorthand for being part of the Danish majority, when I travel abroad it means officials rarely bother me.

Of course I get why people who have identities strongly integrated with their race like Americans or South African, but the difference is that I'm not White Danish, I'm just Danish.
