     From a previous post I sent:

     Now, Charles. I fall under this "WHAM" category too, but I don't advertise
     this fact. This is basically offensive. A few reasonable interpretations:

     "I'm proud of being white"  -->  "Thank ... I'm not [black | Asian | ...]"
     "I'm proud to be heterosexual"  -->  "I'd hate to be a poof"
     "I'm proud to be a male"  ->  "Males are better. It's good to be a male".

     Is it actually your intention to offend people, or aren't you
     aware that this is offensive?

When did I last see you demonstrating against a "Gay Pride" or "Black
Pride" parade ?  Clearly, you'd consider those to be offensive as well.
