Yes it would be if there is such a month.

If someone wants to truly learn about MY culture, why do they have to be remind of it by a "month"? If you want to learn about my Latin heritage, ask me. I'll gladly tell you what Latin America is REALLY like. I know about my Tainos, about Christopher Columbus finding us wayyy before he ever found "America", about how the word "Indians" came from Columbus thinking he'd reached the West Indies and therefore he'd found "Indians" rather than the Bahamas/Puerto Rico/DR/Cuba, and about our own slavery history in our own sugar cane plantations. You wanna know? Ask me, and I'll gladly tell you. It's MY history. It's my heritage. But do I wear it on my arm or tattoo it on my forehead?? Hell no. It doesn't make me any less proud. It doesn't make me forget my history and ancestry.

So just because some politician thinks up to give my ancestry a "month" doesn't mean squat to me. People are going to be no less tolerant of me that month anyway.

You want real change? You want people to not pre-judge you?

Then represent YOUR culture and YOUR heritage in the best light possible. If that means you think that wearing your hat sideways, your pants down to your ankles, blinged out teeth, and talking to where noone understands what the fuck you're saying is "good"......then keep on keeping on, but you have no damn room to complain IMO then.
