Temecula city council decides it won't declare heritage months because they 'exclude people'

Temecula City Council in California has decided not to declare federally recognized heritage months, including Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Month.

In the city council's meeting on Tuesday, Councilmembers Jessica Alexander, James Stewart and Brenden Kalfus voted against declaring citywide proclamations that celebrate cultural diversity, arguing that the “inclusionary” decrees actually “exclude people,” reported The Press-Enterprise.

The declarations of commemorative months, including Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Pride Month, Hispanic Heritage Month and Native American Heritage Month, will now be determined by Temecula’s diversity commission.

“When we bring one group up above the entire city, we basically exclude everyone else,” Stewart said, according to The Press-Enterprise. “I have a problem with that. I don’t have a problem with any of those proclamations that are inclusionary. I do have a problem at this level of government using this platform to promote another group over another.”

3. If you complain that these heritage months "promote one group over another" you are telling on

yourself by revealing that YOU think about ethnic groups in a hierarchical/ranking manner.

As a result of that revelation, everyone else would be justified in assuming that you're a white supremacist -- whether you recognize/admit it or not.

6. Oh, heck.

If they eliminate St. Patrick's Day I'll be quite miffed.

No really, recognizing different minority groups is good. If I'm not interested in participating in one of those things, I can easily opt out. And no one will even notice. The same to everyone else. If some particular group isn't your personal favorite, fine. We all have our opinions about these kinds of things. And mostly it's connected to those you know about.
