Random fun fact about Norway

We don't have black history month.

Because we don't discriminate in general.
The lack of knowledge about people of color, and women of all colors comes down to science, not being unwilling to learn.

Sure, we could do a lot better than we currently do, but we don't discriminate because of the color of someones skin in general.

@Docdon23 a whole lot. But I don't know any of them.
Seems they group together and aren't interrested in giving white/Norwegians the time of day, unfortunately.

A lot of the older people are racist, unfortunately, and tho I don't think I'm racist it's hard to make new friends in general. Especially people who "stand out"

Edit: I thought you reaponded to a different post I made.

But my initial point still stands: we're taught about the main events throughout history, regardless of skin color and gender.

@TheRealBarbossa Norway is not the United States, without the same impact of black people on our country’s development. There have been black people in the U.S. since before there technically was a U.S.; some came here with the Spanish.

And we have black history month because due to racism, black people were largely excluded from the curriculum, in spite of our contributions.
