Having Thanksgiving in the US today made me think again of traditions and celebrations that are socially accepted but mean to other cultures.
For example, Columbus day in October
Why do we celebrate the beginning of the genocide of the natives by the Spanish in 1492?
Another one, Thanksgiving.
We are celebrating how colonists and native Americans met and shared a meal, helping them survive in this country and then the natives are majorly stabbed in the back - reservations, etc
There is a trend for renaming these days and make it more historically accurate, plus being respectful for the victims of those events
Also, people wishes " happy long weekend", "happy holidays" as a way to be more sensitive to the spirit of the day
What do you all think?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
Angela Rayner lashes out and calls Sunak “pint sized loser”.
