According to CIA World Factbook, 15.1% of the country is Hispanic and 12.8% black.

Being hispanic isn't a a race, it's an ethnicity. You can be white hispanic, black hispanic, or asian hispanic.

Every American History museum is, for the most part, a Caucasian American museum.

Racist IMO. Why isn't there a museum about white people?

They should be renamed to White American History museums then.

Shockingly enough, other races do factor into American History, even if they're generally a minority when compared to the attention caucasians get in your average museum.

He does have a point though, I mean there are no museums devoted exclusively to white Americans. Let me ask you this with the way demographics are shifting would you be okay with a white museum in 50 years or so when whites are no longer the majority?
Personally I think having separate museums is ridiculous and that crap like it is why we will never move past race in this country. But if you are going to do it for one group...

I see your point, but the majority of history museums are "dedicated" to white Americans.

No they aren't, they are dedicated to American history, it just so happens that most Americans to this point have been white. That is different than a museum dedicated to just the history of white Americans.
