If a White European pride day was held, would it be considered a Supremacist/Nazi spectacle?
Pride does not equal supremacy. The phrase “White Pride” has bad PR, despite it not meaning “supremacists.” What I would think about it is that it is redundant: most of the current holidays are based on white folks or white events or other white history. The real problem with a White European pride day is that it would collect the supremacists just like the Tea Party activities are collecting them. This would give the day a bad reputation very quickly. The kicker with “white pride” is because, historically, the phrase has been used to denote white supremacy and has been a rallying cry for white racists. Now, logically, “white pride” is no different than “black pride,” “Hispanic pride,” etc. The words “white pride” are perceived incorrectly but, due to history, that is life. It is sad that normal white people cannot say that they have white pride without being seen as racists. If I was white that would annoy me.
I suppose it would, at the least, not be well-seen from many people, for historical reasons. 1) “White pride is a slogan used primarily in the United States (although its usage has spread internationally) to promote the heritage of persons of white European racial identity. The phrase appears in the artwork and literature of many White nationalist and white supremacist organizations. Organizations advocating white pride tend to be collectively referred to as the white pride movement. Advocates of white pride argue that white people should be recognized as a cohesive and legitimate cultural group, with the right to promote their sociopolitical interests. According to a University of Minnesota study, 77% of white Americans believe “their race has a distinct culture that should be preserved.” [2] They often claim that there exists a cultural double standard in which only certain ethnicities are permitted to openly have pride in their heritage, and that white pride is not inherently racist
