Probably joins the Museum of the Native American as one of the worsts museums evah. I will keep visiting the "dead white men" museums.

I agree about the Museum of the Native American, but there are, in fact, no "dead white men's" muesums on the Mall. Natural History? History and Technology? The National Gallery of Art? The East Wing? The Hirschorn (a museum to execrable art, to be sure, but ecumenical as to race, color, and creed)? The Freer Gallery? Air and Space?

The Smithsonian, in fact, already had a National Museum of African Art, which is exactly one more ethnic museum than the white folks have. The Freer houses Asian collections, and very good collections at that; no one considers it an ethnic museum, though in a way it is. The Indians now have an ethnic museum. I suppose next we'll have to have an Hispanic Museum. But there will still be no "white" museum, unless you assume that high culture, science and technology, and natural history are "white," which of course they aren't.

If there is ANYTHING/ANYPLACE that doesn’t elevate a minority, it is by default an affront to minorities and a false palace for whites. I guess you haven’t been paying attention the last 8 years.
