I don't get why we need to celebrate this. I mean, sure, it's nice to recognize different cultures and their contributions, but do we really need a whole month for it? And why just Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders? What about other groups? I just don't see the point of this. Can someone explain to me why this is necessary?

I don't really get why they're making such a big deal about this. Seems like a waste of time to me. #confused
