So is the problem the fact that there is a BET or the fact that you can't have a WET?
I don't have a problem with BET or Little Saigon (our local Vietnamese District) or Hispanic History Month. Funny, it doesn't make me feel estranged or "different" from the people in these groups in my community. I think it might be more prudent and practical if those who do feel estranged from American ethnic groups to work out their own shit, rather than expecting everyone else to deny their ethnicity and the expressions of it in our society.
