I appreciate being white. I appreciate my heritage. I appreciate my culture. I appreciate being born as an American. I don't have some sort of pride that makes me think I'm better than anyone else because of those things.

Each individual should be judged on their own merits not those of their group. That said, it's natural for people to enter any kind of social situation with someone who is of a different group with certain biases. I don't think that's wrong, those biases can quickly be confirmed or rejected. The question is more of how willing someone is willing to let go of those biases.

Is it abnormal for me as a white man to be afraid of going to a heavily black or Hispanic neighborhood? Nope. Is it abnormal for me to be weary of seeing a random person who dresses like a gangster or like a bum regardless of skin color? Nope. Could they by their actions change my feelings towards them? Sure. But that's all normal human behavior. I'd be abnormal if I didn't feel that way.
