When is Asian, Latin, Indian, Islander, and White history months?

P.S - Pardon my negative first post, I just find it unfair that they are the only race recieving recognition.

Care to take bets on how long 'till this turns into a flame-fest?

hm. ok ignore my first post if any of you saw it. When we have a month celebrating white people, or even latins, then i will have something to say that is positive.. maybe. I could give a poo about black history month, since my experience with black people has not been a pleasant one.

I am not sure who is to blame here. The parents, the educational system, the parents, the student, our society. The point is some people missed the boat and they are now wondering where it is....

Why should black people get special treatment based off skin color? Its a double standard. People should be recognized based off of their acheivments not skin color.

This thread is itself evidence that (a) white history month isn't needed, and (b) black history month is still VERY MUCH needed.

Well how is black history month "needed" why do we "need" it. Is it necessary to our survival in the hunter gatherer sense of the word?..No.(To those of you that that sounds familiar to, i couldnt resist) We need it about the same amount as an Italian american history month, or a white history month, or chinese or whatever else you want. Its more of the PC bull that irks me.

Why do you care if there is a black history month exactilly? Does it harm you in the least to learn about some famous african americans in society for 4 weeks? Honestly.

Hmm. In United States History books "whitey's" history covers 97 percent of the text. Except for slaverly and MLK, blacks have little mention and most of it not is written from a positive perspective. So in order to raise American awarness to American History outside the white race. Some months are set aside to hopefully raise the awarness of the positive history of other races.

Sounds to me like it is a more even playing field not "special treatment."

Now go eat some peanut butter....

Not saying we need a White-history month, but could you imagine the spaz attacks people would have if one were introduced?

Not just from african-americans, but from multiple racial groups.
