I see "white expos" all the time: Celtic Festivals, Polish Festivals, Oktoberfests, etc. To me, black expos are the equivalent of an Oktoberfest - a cultural event for African-Americans.

Those aren't racial; they're ethnic.
I've never seen a promo on the news for an upcoming Malian or Ethiopian festival.
