If you have nothing to be proud of in life, be proud of the circumstances of your birth.
Nobody is saying that they are proud of the circumstances of their birth. Just that the circumstances of one's birth indicate that one has inherited certain genetics. And if those genetics are responsible for producing some of the greatest minds humanity has ever seen, then being in the same group as they are can give one feelings of pride.
It's kind of like if your brother won the Nobel prize. I am sure you would feel proud. But if I said you yourself didn't win anything and you are merely "proud of the circumstances of your birth", I would be being unreasonable.
Besides, if some people want to be proud of being white, just let them. I don't understand why this draws such a strong reaction from you. It's like it's not enough that you don't feel proud for being white, you must actively tear down those who do. I think people like you are psychologically unbalanced.
