Normally it is because when many white people talk about preserving their race/heritage they want to do it by removing the other races. I don't mean they want to kill then, but they would like to see them removed fro the country or not allowed in. Other races seem to want do this by just being aloud to celebrate their own race/heritage.
Obviously this is a blanket statement and doesn't cover every person or group and you are right, there is a double standard. If a group of black people marched down the street just to announce they are proud to be black, there would be no problem. If a group of white people did the same it would be racists. That is a double standard, but white people have ruled this country, and in many ways this world, for a very long time and they have done some not-so-nice things to other races. Once you have that in your past, it is hard to shed it.
