So you're saying that Muslim people or Native Americans have not been targeted and discriminated against, and rather than have a movement that encourages justice and equality for all we should just focus on one race to unite us all? If I put a sign in my front yard that said White Lives Matter, would that not be considered racist?

I saw someone make an excellent point, when someone else was asking why we have a black history month in the United States but not a white history month. He said that we don't have a white history month because every month is white history month in the United States.

Why don't we have a Native American history month, or Hispanic? Is it because those races are just like white people, never have to face discrimination? Never have anyone judge them because of how they look?

Native American Heritage Month is November, Latinx Heritage Month is from September 15 to October 15.

When's Muslim history month? Jewish history month? Aramaic history month? Japanese history month?

Welp, guess you're right. There probably isn't a specific month-long celebration for every race, religion, culture, ethnicity, nationality, profession or identity on Earth.

Although California, at least (possibly other states, it's not worth my time to check), and Canada have Muslim appreciation/history months, and Jewish American Heritage month is in May, as is Asian Pacific American Heritage month.
