You may choose to see the special celebration of ethnicities as racist, but by the plethora of ethnicities that are officially recognized, you should see that its actually a celebration of the diversity of the American society.
What's the day for all of us? July 4th, because over the years, this nation has become one that is not defined by its language or the color of its people, but a place where all people can come to make their lives and this world a better place. Maybe once our citizens start to recognize that, we wouldn't have so many problems...
Why is it that we have all these commemorative months...?
Hmmm.....You are implying there are no holidays to celebrate American History?
What about:
Washington's Birthday
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veteran's Day
Thanksgiving

Christmas?
Halloween?

Oktoberfest?
Mardi Gras?
