[quote=Anonymous]Dare I say it might be worth looking at history to understand how the focus of the history curriculum developed. In 1950, Asians Americans accounted for 0.2% of the US population and whites 90%. There was a large surge of migration from Europe in the post-war years. By 1980, Asians had still only reached 1.5%. It is understandable that the Asian experience was not particularly acknowledged or incorporated at those times. Those European bonds have undoubtedly diminished but I imagine it takes quite a while for educational curricula to reflect the change in demographics. [/quote]
