^ Christmas is re-named because it could be seen a racist ^

[Biseinen]

It will always be known as christmas, full stop.

Racist my white bum... How the hell can christmas be racist, I mean, it's for everyone that wants to celebrate it.

We don't go up to jews and say they're racist for having whatever they have... That... Erm, Hannkakuer or w/e.

They're just moaning.

Well, recently my brother came back from school the other day with a letter in his hand and looked a little baffeled.
I asked him whats the matter and he handed me the a school newsletter, in which stated that "The christmas holiday is now to be changed to Winter Festival".
Why? because having a holiday dedicated to Christmas could be found racist to other ethnic religions. W'TF??
So, Christians cannot now say 'Christmas Holiday' because it may offend others who beleive other than Christian.
My mum sort of went into one, giving us a lecture about how the country is run, and silly laws that prevent people living freeley blah..dee..blah..:rolleyes:

But now, come on, this has got to be the most stupid excuse ever to witness my eyes!
Has this happened to anyone here? What are your thoughts about this?

I'll be calling it christmas w/e they say.

How can Christmas be racist?? We celebrate it other religions celebrate certain things but they don't call it something different so it can't be racist
