Asian Heritage Month

I

have always questioned the necessity of focusing on racial differences. For many years, my opinion leaned a little right of center: We should focus on the melting pot that is the US of A and embrace our similarities. This was--and still is, I believe--the ideal. But the longer I live, the more I realize that we are still far from attaining our ideal and we should explore every avenue in order to achieve it.

Anyone have any thoughts?
