I'd settle for you just being positive aboot your identity origins.
People who aren't part of a disadvantaged minority community have no reason to make race a significant part of their identity.
I'm a white male. Why should I be proud of playing life on easy mode? If I work hard I'm basically guaranteed success. Very little gamble to it. What's really impressive is people who don't have such a guarantee and keep working and build something themselves. That's something to be proud of.
It's like if your parents are billionaires and you're proud of being a millionaire. Not exactly impressive. But if your parents are worth less than 100k combined, and you're worth more than them, that's something to be proud of.
