It's not even that. History itself is not objective, and being that it's taught exclusively from the lens of our own society (that should tell you enough), it can't be anything BUT whiteness studies. Not to mention the lack of inclusion of not just black, but Asian and Chicano perspectives as well. There weren't but a single chapter in my AP US History class, and we went through about 1 or 2 a week, and its a year long class.Originally Posted by Trelvis Tha Thrilla

There is a difference between learning about a country that has a predominantly white history and "whiteness studies." Yes, there might be a lack of education on African-Americans, but its not like they made the U.S. History up and made everyone white. The reality is, most of the people were white....U.S. History and "Whiteness Studies" are not even close to being the same thing.
As far as what the main point of the article, I am not going to waste my time.
