i dont think its praising, saying one is better than another or somtehing, or ethnicity is great in general, cuz its true, its kinda stupid if u put great emphasis on it, cuz we're all eventually gonna be the same anyways! but i just find culture really interesting all around and thats why i like talking about it.
there really is not distinction except for cultural differences that happen when people group together for years and years. we all descended from the same two people. that's why people who think there is a "superior race" are really just ignorant.
