History Month' isn't about white-shaming Published January 20, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook41 Twitter0 livefyre22 Email Print NOW PLAYING 'Whiteness History Month' planned for college in Oregon Never autoplay videos Portland Community College officials defended an upcoming program they're calling "Whiteness History Month," and say that even though it looks into the causes of racism, it's not meant to shame anyone. Members of the school's Cascade Campus Diversity Council organized the series of events scheduled for April, describing it as a "bold adventure." Organizers say it's meant to address questions including, "In what ways has whiteness been institutionalized, imposed and internalized?" But instead of focusing on white people as a group, the school plans to examine "whiteness as a social construct," spokeswoman Kate Chester told The Oregonian.
