The easiest way to answer that is because we "celebrated" white heritage every day for hundreds of years. Many white people do celebrate their ethnic heritage, as I'm sure many African Americans today would if their diverse cultural roots hadn't been suppressed under the rubric of simply being black (and a slave). Basically, celebrating one's heritage generally comes as a byproduct of being seen as and treated like an underclass. That is why you have gay pride marches, St. Patrick's Day and Columbus Day parades, and events celebrating black history and achievement. All of these people, the Irish, Italians, Blacks, and many more, have been treated like crap at one time or another, if not today. Who treated them like crap? Almost invariably it was WASPs like me and possibly like you. Maybe that is unfair, but white people who feel specific pride in simply being white are most likely racist.

trying not to be raciest but also trying to be very honest,,
mostly there are all these other celebrations of different lifestyles and ethnic backgrounds,, because for a long time most of the country only did "white" holidays or heritage. And as the other heritages began to get power and privileges and wanted their special days ect. Then everyone started making white ppl feel bad for being mean to everyone else through the years so we give them a week or a month or what ever. Trying to make everyone in the world happy. Which only makes more ppl pissed off cuz now we are trying to buy forgiveness and salvation.

What is white heritage? Seriously....I want to know...We have Italian American Festivals and Polish American Festivals, Irish have parades on St Patricks Day! And every other nationality has some kind of acknowledgement if it has a large enough population...You dont need white heritage celebrations, you already have them.

they did no longer hire a white supremacist, he in simple terms pronounced jews, whites, AND Asians are greater useful at each and everything than Hispanics, i'm exceedingly advantageous saying jews and Asians are cool is something a white supremacist would not say. So he's unquestionably no longer a white supremacist, take that, liberal media. certainty.

As a white person you are not considered a minority so we can't have any white only days, months, music award shows, Beauty pageants TV stations ect.... I personally think it sucks that we still have segregation only now it the reverse from the way it was years ago. It just shows how messed up this world is.

Because the white race really isn't entirely "white." We are all a mixture of other races and cultures.

Hell Yeah!! I agree with Chica, not being offensive to others, but whenever we do something exclusively for white people, we get accused of being racist! :( Not fair, really!!
