I wanted to discuss this issue. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in one's race. But there is definitely an issue in the Traditional movement, and is exemplified here on this forum, with people who marginalize others of non-"white" ethnic origins who are themselves "white" (I'll need PereJoseph here to clarify how stupid of a word that is, "white race"- I have not the patience nor the clarity to do so adequately).
Anyways, I think one of these reasons, is because being a traditional Catholic, means being outside the mainstream. Because the mainstream is far off to the 'left', though being either left or 'right' is not Catholic, the traditional Catholic is able to point out its errors on race. It has its errors in deed, and people of Euopean decent have indeed been marginalized. But the extreme Jansenist attitude which comes about as a counteraction is heavily influenced with Protestant ideals which are far removed from the Catholic faith.
These people have successfully idealized people like Hitler. While he was right on many questions, the Jewish Question, the Communists, etc., he was far from sanctity and being a good Catholic example.
It seems as if these young men, and I say this because they're mostly "young" and "men", though there are exceptions, have already made the step outside the 'mainstream' into traditional Catholicism, which is good, however, instead of continuing to pursue Catholic ideals, which have always been moderate and balanced, as is the nature of our Faith, they are easily influenced by those who indeed attempt to use the nature of Traddie Land to further their agendas.

Sure there are. The Nation of Islam is made up of black racists. While I don't buy the all Jews are evil position of many here, some Jews, especially very Orthodox ones, harbor racist attitudes.

Stir up within Thy Church, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the Spirit with which blessed Josaphat, Thy Martyr and Bishop, was filled, when he laid down his life for his sheep: so that, through his intercession, we too may be moved and strengthen by the same Spirit, and may not shrink from giving our lives for our brethren. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
