Not my fault. There should be months for any and all of them in my opinion.

Actually, Asian-Pacific American Heritage month is celebrated in May and Native American Heritage month in November. Before anyone asks, Hispanic American Heritage is celebrated from September 15 through October 15th.
Caucasian Heritage is celebrated in the USA every day of the year.

I'm out of touch on my on-line shorthand.
btw = by the way (I assume)
fwiw =  (?? While I Work - maybe) I thought of one posibility that starts with F and ends with Off but it might get me banned if it wrote it here.

| Me niether. Why aren't they highly publicized by the media like black history month? Seriously, you can't escape it. I feel like I'm cornered in an alley in Harlem for the entire month of February. |

I see acronyms on the internet all the time and try to figure out what it means... Sometimes, I offend myself at the combination of words that I put in place of the letters... and then it just ends up meaning something innocuous and I have to silently apologize to farm animals and a number of ethnic groups

Maybe it just depends on where you live? We hear about Native/Hispanic Heritage months all the time out here, but then we've had long established Native and Hispanic cultures right alongside us latecomer Anglos.

White men have never been at a disadvantage in our country? Cy you are getting sloppy now dear! Tell that to the Irish and Italian Immigrants who came to this country. |
