How about you just have a class that focuses on the important facts of history to remember instead of trying to appeal to certain groups to make them feel better? Yes, this means that most of the class will be going over things done by white men, but then that is just history.

White men were at the center in the development of Western civilization. They certainly had help from Black men, Asian men, and women. It doesn't make sense though to have an equal representation of every group in history if the defining moments were created by White men.

I would imagine the Chinese study their own history first and the histories of others second. Are the Chinese racist for doing this or does it make sense to study your own nation's history first?

Why do you act as if those things go hand in hand? I went to school before there were women’s studies classes. We studied the history of Africa and how women’s roles changed throughout history. I took art history classes which explored how art reflects gender and racial views throughout history. Your question makes no sense.

You need to work on your logic fallacies. They are quite obvious. History classes have always taught about various races and sexes. Feminist classes are not history classes, they are feminist agenda courses. It’s an absolute shame that colleges convince young women to spend their valuable tuition money to become indoctrinated in the ways of feminism, a next to useless degree.

"Are courses like African American studies and women’s studies valuable or should colleges only offer classes mostly about european men?"

All cultures throughout history that have added to our present are represented in history studies. We notably have the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, The Romans and the Christian European era which we currently live in. Each newer culture seems to be more exponentially relevant as we get closer to our own. But now ... even our current era will surely be superseded by another culture at some future point in history.

So what's the problem here? History is not some kind of cultural representation competition. And modern "women's studies" and "African American studies" are little more than pseudo sciences that speak about micro-cultures in the bigger historical context. We can study them, but they are not relevant like the Greeks and algebra, or the Romans and engineering or the Europeans and the Enlightenment for example.

I've surely missed some here ... but you get the picture.
