I certainly think in terms of looks, whites are gorgeous? (only side note) Main point is that history texts are culturally biased. Really because there aren't enough impact of asian or african-american harvard sociologists or historians to make this impact of shifting to a broader-based assessment of contributions. I am asian and I orient myself with caucasian standards because that is the world we live in, here in the united states. I definitely know asians and african americans (and hispanics, etc) are making quite an impact, but it is in the most recent times that the impact has been great. How to make sense of human achievements in terms of race? (If you've got racist or insensitive comments, hold your thoughts) If you have any thoughtful comments, please educate me. I am asian and I am quite aware of asian contributions in especially science and mathematics. But beyond the stereotype, there are influences in the arts, even theatre, definitely movies (asian directors).
