There's being proud of your heritage then there's expecting monetary gain and privilege because of your heritage. If I demanded that, I'd be called a racist. How is that different when someone else demands it?
JD doesn't say anything that sounds like he isn't proud of his heritage. On the contrary; he sounds like someone proud of who he is and self respecting enough to contribute to the lives of others.
My only question is, where are the others just like him? Why is it that when "these threads" come up, no one else in his shoes speaks up? I guarantee he's isn't alone.
JD, thanks for your perspective
