So?!!

The minute a minority leaves his/her house, that person is bombarded with White culture - from the language being spoken (English), to the food, clothes, entertainment, etc.

Even if the white people are sleeping at night, that doesn't mean it's not Caucasian Heritage night... every night.

Join the non-white caucasians.

It's idiotic and bigoted.
Skin is only bigot deep.

The minute a minority leaves his/her house, that person is bombarded with Chinese culture - from the language being spoken (Chinese), to the food, clothes, entertainment, etc.

Even if the Chinese people are sleeping at night, that doesn't mean it's not Chinese Heritage night... every night. (If I were to move to China)

The minute a minority leaves his/her house, that person is bombarded with Indian culture - from the language being spoken (Indian), to the food, clothes, entertainment, etc.

Even if the Indian people are sleeping at night, that doesn't mean it's not Indian Heritage night... every night. (If I were to move to India)

The minute a minority leaves his/her house, that person is bombarded with French culture - from the language being spoken (French), to the food, clothes, entertainment, etc.

Even if the French people are sleeping at night, that doesn't mean it's not French Heritage night... every night. (If I were to move to France)

See how stupid that sounds?

Is there Chinese Heritage Night...... in China? They have things like New Year and Moon festival,etc but nothing about a specific generic "Chinese Day" in China do they?

You just proved my point for me.

If a Mexican Aztec Indian leaves HIS home IN Mexico; he's also blasted with "white" culture since that culture did start in Spain which is a "white" country.

Spain is a white country, yes.

But is there a Caucasian Heritage Night in Mexico?? What's your point?

Not around here. White people are bombarded with Hispanic culture - from the language being spoken (Spanish), to the food(taquerias on practically every other corner, not to mention the sushi joints and Korean BBQ places). I'm not sure what white clothes and entertainment are, but around here there are non-whites wearing baggy pants and playing "music", if you can call it that.

It's really tough being a minority in America. I wonder why so many keep moving here?
