From your username, I'm guessing you were born in 1983; I was too. There's a huge variety in American education so it's possible our experiences were completely different.
However, when I was in high school our textbooks were so concerned with political correctness that if anything they were overly focussed on diversity.
I took AP US history, World History, Asian History, and AP European History. The Average student only got one section of European history in the overall World History class.
>that white people invented absolutely everything and Europe is the only old world with history worth studying? Then again maybe it's changed in the past 15 years?
I find it very hard to believe (not impossible, just very unlikely) that you were actually taught that. More likely you just saw your history classes through your own biases.
