I realize that there are many other important days/events at other times of the year that are significant to Asians (just like there are other times of the year that are important to African Americans besides February), but it just so happens to be recognized in May. Whomever selected this month, selected it for the reasons noted above. Does the fact that it isn't all inclusive nullify it for you and prevent you from celebrating your heritage in May? I just don't understand what problem is or how it relates to diversifying Black History Month.

I just don't know of too many people who make Asian Heritage Month a big deal (in the sense the Lunar New Year or Black History Month is made a "big deal"), that's all. I guess I should have said that earlier.
