So if you do not want to participate in the Black History Month lunch at work because 'When do they have White History Month?" does that make you a racist? Yeah, I think so! Duh, every month is white history month because we wrote the freaking history books. Even if you did, would you have English history month or French History month. Oh wait, the English conquered a bunch of tribal groups (Scots, Picts, etc.) and tried to make them all English, so I guess we need to have a month for each of them too!

Good heavens! If people want to celebrate their cultural heritage, let them! Race doesn't exist, but culture, sure does.

kwI know what you mean. Try explaining Native American Day to a cowboy from Miles City who resents the Indians taking over "their" grazing land and not grazing on it.
