Re: "Be proud of your heritage"

[darkmanifest]

I've always taken "be proud of your heritage" as more like "know and don't be ashamed of your heritage, because there are people who will do everything in their power to misinform and shame you for it". It's a preemptory defense mechanism for kids who are growing up as minorities in any place that has a long history of mistreating people of a certain racial descent, because they run the high risk of running into bigotry in their lives.

Re: "Be proud of your heritage"

[nyxelestia]

This. I pretty much consider myself "American" through and through, and honestly feel much more connected to the ethnic culture I grew up around (Latino/Mexican) than my actual heritage (Indian/Bengali). I don't really care much about my heritage, but I understand why I probably could and why many say I should.

I can kind of see certain people's objections to anyone being proud of any heritage by virtue of the "pride is for accomplishments, being born to someone isn't an accomplishment" argument, to which I would say the whole "take pride in your heritage" argument implies that openly celebrating and participating in one's minority heritage in the fact of a majority that discriminates against you for that heritage is a type of accomplishment, one of endurance.
