I agree with you that you should not want to be something you are not. Everyone should learn to love theirselves as they are, especially when it comes to things that we have no control over, such as the color of our skin. I do not feel that just because I am white I have some type of supremacy over any other race. There are many people in the world who feel they are ‘always right’ and the color of their skin is not always white, as you stated. I do not feel that I have enjoyed a ‘priveleged’ life either, I have experienced some very tragic events and also some very happy moments, but none of them do I attribute to the fact that I am white. If anything, I feel that I am constantly trying to prove to other people such as yourself that just because I am white, do not assume that I live some type of happy, perfect life. Life is hard no matter what color your skin happens to be. I respect all people regardless of what their race, relegion, sexual orientation, etc is and would like the same respect in return. I was born white, no this does not make me wake up every morning happy. It is not even something I think about very often. I do, however, get tired of justifying myself to people who share your misguided and also racist beliefs. Your beliefs that all white people think they are better than others and are born into some type of privileged life, are outdated and also just as racist as the reverse would be. We are all human beings and we have no control over what color our skin is.
