Well, in essence, US history isn't necessarily white history. It is US history. It is just that non-white contributions are usually not elaborated upon. As for Australian history..well..the Aboriginals are either dead or dying from drugs.

Oh, I don't know about that.  I suppose it may be in quite a few places, but the US history classes I had during middle and high school all touched on slavery, Jim Crow laws, the feminist movement, discrimination against Asians, and the Civil Rights Movement about as equally as any other topic in US history, and I know a lot of textbooks on the US history which puts a particular emphasis on these subjects are taught at in many schools around the US (and not just during these silly months). There is no reason why the history of blacks, or any other minorities, in the US shouldn't be taught in a regular history class.  It's clearly an integral part of the social relatons in the US and ought to at least be touched upon during any regular US history course.  These history months for races and the like are stupid - the people who promote them would better spend their efforts promoting an increased emphasis on these topics in regular history classes.  Minorities in the US are as American as any white person is, and the experiences of their group is uniquely American. Obviously the history of the US will always be more focused on Europe than anywhere else for the US has its origins in Europe - there's no denying that.  As the US is becoming increasingly diverse ethnically and culturally, and as more non-European powers are rising to power, the history of non-European countries will become more relevant to the US as the US begins to take on its own form, increasingly separating itself from Europe as time goes on. -- Posted by kidd rune at 9:10 am on Nov. 23, 2008 10,000th thread of this sort.
