Wat? This is so stupid it actually causes me physical pain. That's like telling anyone who's not a Christian they can't celebrate Christmas. 🙄
Self-identification is such a bizzare polarized issue. On one side, you have sexual self-identification being embraced by the same people who bemoan cultural self-identification. I don't understand this cognitive dissonance. Alas.
You probably don't understand it because those aren't the same people.
Not every "lunar new year" is on the same day in every country; there are different lunar calendars.
The Chinese New Year is not the Buddhist New Year is not the Islamic New Year, yet we're smashing them all together.
This is cultural insensitivity.
China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, lots of countries use lunar calendars that arrive on the same date.
Calling it the lunar New Year is not a cultural sensitivity, it's simple accuracy.
No one falls on a sword for people who didn't ask like left leaning white women in first world countries.
You understand countering ignorance with prejudice isn't helpful, right?
