a centuries old tradition which originated around an act of terrorism

Was he a terrorist or a freedom fighter? I guess we are not straying too far from the point here. When does a tradition become acceptable? Why is acceptable to burn an effigy of a Catholic every November but not to do some other things? We used to black up for the Abram Pace Egg play every year, which as per discussion, may or may not be offensive. But is it also offensive that St George kills the King of Egypt's son?

Not arguing. Just developing :-)
