I am enjoying Black History month....I always learn so much. So how about a Native American month? Asian American month? Hispanic American month? I think we have them, but they are not as heavily endorsed as the others.... I am sure there are other groups we've left out.

A few threads back we were bemoaning our diversity. Well, I'd like to see more of it. I enjoy learning about my fellow citizens and as an ex-teacher...I can tell you how positively it affects the children.

And aren't the hispanic americans the largest growing "minority" population in the U.S.?

Most people don't realize it, but the biggest minority right now is the single white male.

I think we would quickly run out of months.

But like I said before, it doesn't matter what color they are on the outside, so long as they're Red, White and Blue on the inside.

Watch six and keep your...

The Hispanic Culture thread could start out by discussing that dress (?) Jennifer Lopez wore to the Grammies. Hehe.

How about red-haired, libertarian, environmentalist, lacto-ovo vegetarian, athlete, zpg, computer novice month?

What?!

You don't want to celebrate my culture?!

You're all a bunch of flaming bigots!!! By God, if you don't celebrate my culture, I'll force it down your throat!

(I'm just kidding about the lacto-ovo vegetarian bit)

White-Anglo-Saxon Month?

And now of course I'll be labeled a bigoted/racist for even thinking about it. Got news for you, I'm half Cherokee, so don't even go there.
