It’s “Lunar New Year” now. Of course, there are many lunar calendars with differing starts of the year but let’s just pave over that to Frankenstein together some generic nonspecific holiday because Gyna bad.

    Christians aren’t the subject of a racist moral panic. Chinese people are.

      Well, I mean, unless there's footage of people attacking or using racial slurs at people for them calling it "Chinese New Year", because of ebil CCP sentiments, I don't think there's much fuss to be made here....

        Is it ok for me to call Hannukah "generic winter holiday" as long as I don't assault anyone? It must also not be racist to force black students to change their hairstyle, as they didn't use the N word.

          Uh no... but I could simply say happy holidays....

          How is this related to Chinese New Year again? Did Chinese people in the U.S get forced to change their haircuts, even though that's part of the new year?
