East Asians.
What do you like about being Arab.

Nothing I love about it, it's just normal. I'm not proud of it because I'm only proud of what I do, I'm not going to credit myself for something one of my ancestors did a few hundred years ago.

White is still a color, right?
The culture: food, language, music, dress
being mixed, the capacity to not say ignorant things about others races/cultures because I know how it feels like
Having brown skin all year round, a lot of curly hair
women love me
So black is a colour but white is not a colour?

What?...?.........?

I can remember a few years back on channel 4. They asked a group of white and black people what they like about being black or white

For black people the answers always have to do with the pride we feel, coming from families who have struggled against the odds, fought injustice, persevered, and maintained dignity in the face of great obstacles.

In other words, to be black has internal meaning, derived from the positive actions and experiences of black people.

But for whites, if they can come up with anything, it is typically something about how nice it is not to have to worry about being racially profiled by police, or how nice it is not to be presumed less competent by employers, or discriminated against when applying for a loan, or looking for a home.

In other words, for whites, their self-definition is wrapped up entirely in terms of what and who they aren’t.

What it means to be white is basically to not be “the other.”
