Jason Peter Thomas,
USA.
I did not realize it was a good thing to be proud of my white heritage until gay marriage was legalized in the U.S. I looked up gay rights and found out that white societies provide the most advanced human-rights legislation around the world. This lead me to understand that white people have been responsible for much of the technological advancement that has enriched the world as well. I never knew it was okay to be proud of my ancestors for this until I realized that ancestors are respected in many cultures for the hard work they put in for their descendants. I learned to respect my race and ancestors for what they have given me and the world. I’m proud that white societies lead the world in human rights, LGBT rights, and economics.
