"Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated in May and a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Just like the Black History Month and Women's History Month celebrations, the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month originated from legislation. Congress passed a joint Congressional Resolution in 1978 to commerate Asian American Heritage Week during the first week of May. This date was chosen because two important anniversaries occured during this time, the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in America on May 7, 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. Congress later voted to expand it from a week long to a month long celebration."

Our class was talking about this a couple months back. We were in charge of thinking of ways to celebrate Asian Heritage Month. Lol since half my class is Korean and there are only 3 Indians or people of Indian heritage (including me), we probably won't learn much.
Anyways Happy Asian Heritage Month!!! |

this reminds me of a chain letter i got earlier today.....(i hope you don't mind if i show part of it)
QUOTE You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK. But when I call you Kike, Towelhead, WOP, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Gook, nigger or Chink you call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi You have the NAACP. You have BET. If we had WET(white entertainment television) ...we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day... you would call us racists. If we had white history month... we'd be racists. If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives... we'd be racists. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racists. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights...you would call us racists. Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them... they all got sent to court for being rasist but the african-american, latino, and asia clubs were not even questioned. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. well anyway happy asian day! NOTE:i have nothing against asians, my bff is asain okay? |

NOTE:i have nothing against asians, my bff is asain okay? Let me explain that quote. After 200 years of slavery and calling the Africans, "niggers" and "slaves", a few Honky comments shouldn't exactly burn like you got thrown into fire or anything. You kinda, do deserve it. They made a big mistake, yet what was there punishment? Also, the whole thing about, QUOTE You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month.

If we marched for our race and rights...you would call us racists. Ok, first off, white people don't even need any of this. White people already have scholarships and such that they can get. White history month? In school, all we learn about is White history. Yeah, the 2 weeks we spend on black history. And the 0/4 days we get for Asian History. MLK day? Everyday is white day in this country. NAACP? You guys have the US freaking government. BET? Every channel besides like, 4 is WET. Tell me, how many black people do you see on Lifetime? Or AE? Hell, even ABC Family or ABC? Maybe, 2 for eery 3-4 shows? Million Man March? Guess who founded this country, made up all the laws? The law is kinda in your favor. White Pride? What pride? You can't really have "White Pride". You can have Irish pride, Italian Pride, German Pride, etc. White power being racist? Uh kinda, since I can probably count all the minorities that are high up in the government with 2 hands. Point I'm trying to make here, you guys complain about minorites and how they get certain things. But when you look at the big picture, you guys have alot of the same stuff, just 90% more. So stop f**king bitching. Anyways, I know it's Asian History Month, woo hoo and all that. But too bad nobody barely knows about it. |
