You know fellow white folks, I’m pretty good with the trade-off of not getting a “White Pride Month” but *instead* I get to drive around with pretty much zero chance a cop is going to shoot me.

But you do you.
Same with “Straight Pride Parade”. Like, I’m bummed I don’t get a parade, but there’s also not a nationwide movement financed by Rapture-crazed billionaires trying to strip me of my human rights. So six of one, you know?
Once somebody online asked “Aren’t you proud of being white?” Well, no because ...
... because I’m proud of things I’ve ACCOMPLISHED. Obstacles I’ve overcome.

I’m proud I lost weight despite food being delicious. I’m proud I wrote something good despite the creative challenge.

I can’t think of a thing I’ve achieved *despite* being straight. Or white.
