ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH???

ok, let me start by saying i am not prejudiced against any race.  but i have often wondered why african americans get a whole month to honor their heritage, and i never hear anything about other ethnic groups getting the same treatment.  well..........

i just saw on tv that may is asian heritage month............HUH???  how come i have never heard of this???  how come it was never a part of my daughter's education, yet black history month was celebrated every year???  this didn't just happen either.......it has been around for many years.............yet.........i have never heard a word about it.  i am scottish/irish........and of course, i get one day a year.........st. paddy's day.  the american indian, from whom we stole their land, their lives, and their heritage, doesn't get a special month...........or if they do, i have never heard of it.  i made sure that my daughter's class every year up through elementary school did a week long study on american indians.  if anyone should be mad about the "white man" taking things away, it is them.

i can hear those muttering in the background that indians were savages........mmmm.....if you believe in cave men, they were too.  they knocked people in the head with clubs, and dragged their women around by their hair.  the american indian lived off the land, and suddenly the land was swept out from under them.  i would be a little pissed off too.

ok, i have vented.........and this could be the reason i only have a few readers still.  but i don't care.  i will continue to speak my mind.......if you disagree, tell me so, nicely, lol.  if you agree, tell me as well.  after all, though i am very committed to my opinions, they are mostly only that........MY OPINIONS. 

so, to all of you out there that are asian or part asian...........HAPPY ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH....................
