They are bigots.
You can not be a white Anglo that was not an immigrant minority and celebrate who you are and our ancestry. My ancestors came here in the 1630's. They have fought in all wars.
They have built this country. They have been farmers, miners and many other things, all looked down on now. They had the vision and energy to build the best place ever to live.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
