Why isn't there a white history month, or an Asian history month, or an Hispanic history month?

Shouldn't all ethnicities have the chance to have a month!

    Um, there is a Hispanic Heritage Month. I think it's October or November, around those months.

    "Before someone says whites have all the months (such a load of crap), it's because we were never enslaved, end it."

    -That's BS too. Slavic people are white, slavic people were slaves to the Romans. Where do you think the word "slave" comes from?

    Before someone says whites have all the months (such a load of crap), it's because we were never enslaved, end it. Yes other races have been slaves as well but not anywhere near the level we took it with African Americans.

    We're whites ever oppressed? Banned from reading or writing, basically learning anything to keep them in a lower class? Were whites worth 1/5th of a human at any given point? Give them their month and let them celebrate moving on and equality.

    People tend to forget, they still unofficially had segregated schools in the early 80's, most people don't even know this. The 80's is not as far as you'd like to think it was in the past.

    Add - If you're going to try and make a comparison using whites being indentured servants to help promote your argument, there's a massive difference between a indentured servant and a slave! One is a job - the other is being forced to work for nothing against your will under punishment of death, YEA REAL SIMILAR!

    Yes.

    But political correctness will forbid it because of its own stupidity. Celebrating an African holiday is a good idea. Celebrating a Christian or mostly white holiday is racist. See what I mean?

    Oktoberfest is an 18 day international celebration focused on Germans and drunk white people. So there you go.

    Because everytime white people get together because of whiteness, it always ends up in violence and racism.
