How come theres no white Heritage month?

Because america is one of the most racist country’s on the planet. We try so hard to not be racist that we become more racist. this is a great example right here. no white history month. America works so hard to promote minorities that the majority of the population is in fact demeaned. see the stupid but sadly true thing about america is that usually if your not racist against blacks or another minority your racist against whites. this is a generalization but it is almost always true. The thing is we have black history month basically to say sorry for slavery. (which by the way was horrible and I in no way am I ok with slavery. it’s a terrible practice) but see every group of people was persecuted at some point. my ancestors were tortured to death for there country of origin but I don’t complain and say that my people should have our own month of the year. just saying. no one alive today was a slave. yes it was terrible. but move on people.

I think (in my opinion… I guess) that it’s because many Caucasians can trace their heritage back to Irish, German, Swedish, Italian, Greek etc etc but African Americans usually cannot trace their heritage back too far because of slavery.

Our country is still a very young one… it was not long ago that we had slavery.

Since when can an African American win an Irish scholarship?Or an Italian Scholarship?or Dutch? Scandinavian? Polish? So you see, there are quote unquote white heritage celebrations out there. There just isn’t a month devoted to it as a whole because there are so many subdivisions of Caucasian.

Also remember… you’re comparing minority to majority.

I would agree with Dede - just not in quite those words. (Incidentally, I’m of Scottish-Irish-English descent. Can’t get much ‘whiter’.)

History, until recently, was written by whites for whites - and any other ethnic group was at most a footnote. Even churches turned their Messiah into a white man. So the Ethnic months are an attempt to highlight the contributions of other groups, to gain a bit more balance.

Also there is a Holocaust Remembrance day. It is called Yom Hashoah and it occurs on April12 next year - the date follows the Jewish calendar, so it floats around on the Gregorian calendar .

But my families from Portugal so I was born in the US but I’m still considard portuguese but I were to say hey I’m half whit and half portuguese everyone would be like so what.

I honestly did not know there was a Holocaust Remembrance day, It seems like the only things people talk about is how bad someone feels towards Minorities.

BECAUSE BEFORE blk history month and hispanic month white people had all the months they wanted to celebrate how much blacks and hispanics didnt have a pot to piss in lol and the jewish probly celebrate in their own country or they may be ones to celebrate things like that
