Re: "Be proud of your heritage"

I think you're probably trolling, but here's a response anyway.

I'm not adopted or part of an interracial family, so I can't comment on that, but I've always thought of the phrase as a variation on "everyone's beautiful" or "nobody's perfect" - mild non-committal encouragement you say to people because you don't really know what else to say or how to help them through their struggle.

Personally I dislike being told what I should be proud of. There's a part of my heritage that's so, so very Not For Me. I've lived immersed in that particular culture for over a decade and it's just about diametrically opposed to how I want to live - and so I can't take people seriously when they say "But you should be proud to be from X!" There are plenty of things I'm proud of. My career, my artwork, my friends - I don't see the need to be proud of an accident of birth.
