Good point MGoH.

The fact that they don't celebrate it, doesn't mean, or even imply, that they are offended by it.

Some people make unwarranted assumptions about the likely attitude of certain groups, and choose to feel offended on their behalf.

It is a form of racism, and extremely patronising, because it assumes that they need assistance if they don't themselves take offence.
