Subject: RE: BS: Politically correct: To be or not to be!
I think her point alex was not that only white folks celebrate Christmas but it seems (please tell me if I'm wrong Kim!!) that we can celebrate black history month, women's history month, gay pride month, or holidays like Kwaanza, but try to celebrate being white, male, heterosexual, or celebrate Christmas and someone will tell you to be sensitive to those not celebrating. I've actually been told, "Every day is white male day!" I actively participate in all celebrations here at work and have met some of my best friends in doing so. But had I not, my opportunity to tell THEM what I feel about MY celebrations would most likely have never happened.

In any case, to point out that some black and brown folks celebrate Christmas, is to miss the point.....jmho...
