I grew up as a Polish immigrant in the US and had to experience racist comments, which to this day are still not seen as insulting for various arguments, such as it being a English word, not Polish (which why the Poles would have a racist word against themselves in their own language is idiotic), that it is spelled similarly to the Polish word for Polish person (I can’t even begin to discuss how absurd that argument is), that Polish Americans use that word (again, really?), etc.

I really think people should celebrate their heritage because it celebrates their ancestors.

However, that does not and should not make you a bigot against others. Which I have been called because I like to cook Polish foods, etc.

Makes no sense. Especially since we just saw how extreme racism can become with WWII, which was not so long ago.
