How are white people supposed to feel about their own race?

In USA it does, you have the "one drop of blood" thing. I could even show a report that surfaced in Brazil about a girl that tanned her skin and pretended to be black (because she identified as one) and were kicked of the movement while a white guy were accepted in some decades before because he had one ancestor that was black.

And sorry to break your bubble, but the vocal part of the minorities are the ones that use (and sometimes set) those movements exactly to request special privileges, and guess what, being the vocal of the group they sometimes get what they want while using the others as leverage.

The one drop rule may still be common in Brazil but it's not been an active system in the US since the 1940's.  If it were, I'd have to identify as Native American.

As for minority groups requesting special privilege, again, that isn't the case.  Perhaps that's the case in Brazil.  I can't say.  I do know your president Dilma Rousseff was impeached and was known for doling out funds and privileges to "squeeky wheels" as it were.   So perhaps that's the situation in Brazil.  Privileges get demanded and filled.  In the US, it's just equality they demand.

http://veja.abril.com.br/mundo/branca-ou-negra-homem-ou-mulher/ I know you don't read portuguese, but this is on Rachel Dolezal and in this report there isn't a mention to a former president of NAACP that had white skin but had one black ancestor and considered himself black and was accepted as such.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule doesn't seem to have any mention of it being overruled even if wiki isn't thrustworthy.

And on Brazil again, most people (outside the minority movements) doesn't give a shit on this race identification. But since I'm white skinned and my brother is brown skinned and both 3/4 slave heritage (and on this we basically had met our great grandparents that were son and daugther of slaves) how would you classify each since you want to define I'm not a minority (and I'm, because I consider the individual the biggest and single minority there is)?

You can pretend as much as you want that there isn't a plethora of people asking for privileges (like quotas) pretending to be demands for equality. Because by law in Brazil (and as far as I know in the USA currently) everyone is equal by the law, but we have people in Brazil that push for classification on homicide to include feminicide and gaycide, discrimination law to be straight on white against black or hetero versus homo, etc.

One set of special rights we do have is woman retire earlier, live longer, are 10x less likely to get killed (or most forms of violence) than men but still demand special law to protect them, while gay people also are less likely to get killed (you can pull the statistic if you want) but they also want special law for protection.
