Is there a Hispanic History Month? Asian History Month? Etc... What qualifies a minority to get a month? We enslaved Chinese laborers to build our railways and detained Japanese citizens during WWII. Hispanics out number African Americans now, do they spend a month in the schools talking about their history? All these "racial groups" are comprised of specific cultures and peoples that are very different from one another. Is it right to lump all that as "Hispanic, Asian or Black"? This is not a critique but an honest question. Do these other "races" have a month? Should anyone have a "month"? Also, I should mention that I didn't read the article. Sorry, not a big Huffpo fan, even when posted by the great ButterflyEffect :)
