Sarcasm is the ONLY answer I have for this "pride" stupidity. People PROUD of being gay? ...of being born black? Those really are not accomplishments, any more than being tall is. I think I made my point rather effectively.
Okay, well that's probably why your whole "tall people" thing falls flat, because it's not brought forward with any sincerity.
Once upon a time, being gay or black was seen essentially as a scourge. Being proud of being something that historically society has said is a bad thing is what brought us to this point. Being tall has never been met with oppression.
It might be easier if you present your points without sarcasm.

Your point was clear and concise. Any idiot could understand it.
Thank you. At least ONE (ahem...) "reader" did not appreciate my jest. To which I say, "Bwahahahahahaaaa....."

I say this as a man who's 6'7
Whatever, I said it in jest and I meant it in jest. Perhaps my humor isn't for everyone, but that's OK with me.
Right, that's what I'm saying. Since it lacks sincerity, that's why your point falls flat.
