Hehehe, no it wouldn't be racist. Although some politician would say that it is.

It wouldn't really be racist, but two things to consider. What is the majority of things that people learn in school with history? The answer to that would be, American and European history. Minorities that have history months, are barely talked about in school. Also, if you go channel surf right now the majority of channels you turn to are dominated by shows with mostly white people. And I honestly think there are channels that are probably more for targetting whites than for anyone else.
I really don't understand why various people have complained about not having a specific channel or specific month for whites, when whites already dominate everything. Why limit yourself heh?

We study white history all the time so what difference would that make. I would rather learn about the history of those who are not part of colonialism. Although blacks are just as much a part of North America as the irish immigrants or the british we never hear about the struggles because their story has been marginalized and ignore because of racism. This is true about asians and aboriginals who deserve to have their place in developing this country told as well. You are part of the priveledged class, being white, and male so you have no idea what the experience of being oppressed would be like. I think that your whole question displays you ignorance quite well.

No it wouldn't be racist to inevent WET, but if white people started white history month, what would they be remembered for? I mean, they were never slaves and beat to death if they didn't pick cotton until their hands were bloody. Also, in the history of white people, the white women weren't raped by black masters, white women didn't have to give their half white babies up either after having been knocked up by the master

No, not racist at all. I am Asian and I think there should be equal treatment for white people also. It is sad that in your country there is so many benefits for being black and that the government is prejudiced against the white people who make up the majority of the country. Some things I see here in America don't make any sense at all. Go apply for a scholarship from the NAACP or the United ***** College Fund and see how far you get. There isn't one college fund in America that is open to only white people. It is funny how you guys discriminate against yourself. I do not understand it but I am not from here so I probably never will.

If you want WET, turn to MTV or anther channel. White History Month is 11 out of the 12 month out of the year.

Hmm..you have a point, but overall that would be considered racist. There's no such thing as affirmative action for white people.

I don't find it racist. But I bet some people would have a big problem with it.
