Only thing I can think of.

I mean, considering that most history is Western-centric, most history that's taught in schools IS "white history". These people are morons if they don't realise that, and also don't realise that an effort to highlight the contributions to our culture of, say, blacks or Asians or Hispanics is a GOOD thing, because it gives a fuller picture than the one generally presented.
