Black history month refers back to slavery. Most black Americans have ancestry that didn't arrive in the Americas of their own free will, so yes it is wrong to include all non-white cultures. A lot of our black heritage is slavery driven too. Surely you can see why adding Asian, Inuit, Cherokee or Middle Eastern culture would not fit with the main reason Black History Month even exists?
