My parents said the opposite. To date only "our race". I 'revolted" as well. They weren't really racist...but they were ignorant because in those days, that's how they were raised. The 70's became a bit more enlightened, I'd like to think.
There is a show called Wife Swap. This show had this horrible woman that constantly preached and the family she swapped with were wiccans and she was universally hated by everyone that saw that episode. But about a year later, they had her back again..this time, she was paired with a black couple. The black dude was very much like you...and preached not religion, but Black Power and how horrible whites were. This hated woman said something that made everyone love her. She said "you know, I have lived my whole life not seeing color. But since being here with you, I lost that ability".
Its ok to be proud of who you are. But to not live in harmony the best you can...and raise your kids to goosestep along with you....that is pretty sad.
They have my sympathies.
