Unlike others, Europeans have something to actually be proud of! When was the last time someone visited a black restaurant or vacationed in Africa? Exactly. Who explored and founded North America? Exactly Who gave birth to Western civilization? Exactly European history, culture and values are superior to all others and I'm tired of pretending we're not. A tide is coming and its going to change everything!

Not allowing European History Month is absolutely bonkers. They are taking the 'free' out of freedom of expression.

My Italian community in Vaughan and Woodbridge aren't racist in the slightest and we love people of all cultures! Just as blacks have their own month, we deserve one as well!

For some reason, the concept of European History Month and European Pride are mistaken for racism and white supremacy. European-Canadians built this country and deserve recognition in our academic halls and classrooms. As a person of both Greek and Italian heritage, I'm proud of my ancestry. When the Southern European Diaspora began immigrating to Canada, we taught these people how to eat, drink and dress. We, the European-Canadians, demand equality and public recognition in the form of European History Month!
