Nah that would solve our problems too easily. But I'm not Canadian, so it's up to them!

Team America World Police, aw shucks, here we go again...
If you think there isn't enough asia-centric education... you must not have been to an asian school.
Schools are going to focus on the history of where they are, through the bias of where they are. Simple fact of life. Should americans complain that their revolution takes a much smaller seat in british education than british history does in american education? No, because until there was an america, british and american history are the same (not counting native americans).

I haven't been to an Asian school because I live in America.

And to answer the rest of what you said: no shit.
