    I get your point but I don’t think anyone should be ashamed where they’re from, per se. I have no power over where I’m born.

      Just because you shouldn’t feel proud of something doesn’t mean you should be ashamed of it, and I don’t think they’re implying one should be. I’m not proud that I have a nose, but I’m not ashamed I do either; I just have one.

        They are responding to someone who literally said they should be ashamed though. And one of the examples was being white. The blatant racism is disgusting.

        I’m not ashamed that I was born in a backwards, bible-thumping, right-wing hellhole. But, I am ashamed of how backwards and idiotic my home state is.

      I agree. Its equally as absurd to be proud of where youre from. You should be proud of achievements. You didnt achieve being a certain race or being born in a certain country etc. You ran a marathon, good for you, you should be proud. Thats kinda my point people tend to be proud of things they shouldnt.
