Type "celebration of black" into Google, look at the auto-complete results. Imagine those things, but with black flipped to white.


That sort of celebration happens defacto. I guess you prefer it to be called out explicitly?

Or when you were in grade school, did you only learn about ["black","asian","latino"] authors, musicians, scholars, scientists, inventors, actors, etc etc?


It depends what country you went to school in. So, yes, there are quite a few places where you will get only "["black","asian","latino"] authors, musicians, scholars, scientists, inventors, actors" till you get to university and get exposed to more. I mean, you don't think in Columbia, or Ukraine or the Philippines you'll read much American authors, musicians, scholars, scientists, inventors, actors, etc., other than those part of the global patrimony?


This entire thread is about the US.


So the US is exceptional and defies the phenomena we see in other countries?
