Good for you guys. One of our big issues as a race is we aren't rabidly pro-ourselves or "allowed" to be.
The difference between white people and many other cultures of both the present and the past is that we have actually allowed our history to be critiqued. e.g. The Mongols don't sit around with Yellow Guilt for killing %10 of the WORLD population, do they?
The Chinese don't whine about their Yellow privilege even after Tibetan, Bo Tribe, and Xuighar genocide, etc.
And when you're the only ones being critiqued, people start to get the idea that your people were uniquely evil....
