If you are proud of your race, no matter what race, to me that screams, "I'm insecure that I've done nothing and will now give myself credit for what people who look like me did 100 years ago."
It's stupid when black people do it, it's stupid when native Americans do it, and it's stupid when white people do it. You can be proud to tell of what YOUR ancestors did, as in your family, but you can't tell me that this doesn't sound retarded, "Harriet Tubman ran away then came back and ran the underground railroad, I'm so proud to be black!" or "George Washington led the colonists through the revolution and even sat in the shit with them, I'm so proud to be white!".
Tl;Dr: If you have to base your accomplishments on what someone else did in the past simply because you are the same race as them, you are a loser.

Ironically coming from the guy who bases his accomplishments on someone else.
