Out of Hand Political Correctness

but "holy day" can incorporate a lot more then christmas. Jews and Muslims have holy days, or holidays also.

And Rukas, why does it piss you off that they say Happy Holidays instead? What does it bother you any?

Maybe EVERYONE should say happy channuka instead of merry christmas. That would be better. Why not, you know?

Happy Holidays incorporates EVERYONE. People need to understand that, its not fucking attacking punk ass whiney christians, its not supporting other religions. ITS JUST INCORPORATING EVERYONE.

Why incorporate everyone into a Christian holiday? If you're not Christian and get offended by Merry Christmas then why would you even want to celebrate it anyway?

If you're cool with doing all the Christmas things that come with the holiday then call it Christmas or dont celebrate it at all.

Oh and to back up what the other dude said, I do KNOW black people that are offended by bah bah black sheep.

"one for my master, and one for my dame" - thats the part that find it offensive I think. Because the BLACK sheep is giving its wool to a "master". In a sense, although I think its stretched, that is what people find offensive.

If they are offended by it they are fucking idiots. News flash, animals and thus sheep have owners and masters.

If you were an animal lover I would understand, but this rhyme has nothing to do with racism.

You're assuming that your African-American friends are representative of all African-Americans. Maybe some African-Americans do take offence to such things, maybe some African-Americans don't want their African-American children being racially insulted because of nursery rhymes.

his friends arn't arfrican american...he's from Leicester

They can fuck off

Black is a colour. Black objects exist, and will be named as such, get the fuck over it. Are they offended by my black writing, with it's racial connetations?

One thing that really pisses me off nowadays is that people cant say Merry Christmas, its Happy Holidays, incase it offends non Christians. Ermmm news flash, Christmas is a christian holiday, if you're not christian and find it offensive dont celebrate it, but dont try to wash over it with this Happy Holiday shit.

I know exactly what you mean, years ago when I was much younger, we'd see 'Merry Christmas' signs around the city. Years after that, it stopped and changed to 'Happy Hollidays' cause the jewish community started getting offended..

^Wow.

All these examples people are giving I've seen none of that. I think it is out of hand on TV but I haven't seen none of this other shit happen besides that Happy Hoidays, but I still see and say or receive a Merry Christmas so it's no big deal to me. I think it's just one group of people trying to do something, not everyone agrees with this shit. I mean come on "Ba Ba Black Sheep", stupid. If they find the "Give one to my master" part offensive they're stupid too. Shit is dumb.

I bet you they still celebrate hanukkah openly though, and would be offended if you asked them to say happy holidays instead of happy hanukkah.

I never heard Happy Holidays during Christmas this year, everytime it was "have a Merry Christmas" and Im pretty sure I saw Merry Christmas signs up. Atleast in Australia/Adelaide I dont think its that bad, yet. But I agree if you are offended by someone wishing you a Merry Christmas just ask that person not to say that and its done. Its not like they're hoping you die of a horrible disease or anything.

Im not saying that I, myself find Ba Ba Black sheep racist.

But in stores and shit, I think its MUCH smarter for the people to just simply incorporate "Happy Holidays" into thier greetings/goodbyes. Why not?

Sure, if your talking with your friends or family or whomever you know, then say Merry Christmas.

But it public places, why should businesses and shit not use Happy Holidays instead.

Businesses dont say happy chanukka, or have a good kwanzaa, you know? They dont need to say Merry Christmas.

Happy Holidays just does it for everyone.

Yeah plus if they are forced to say it then theres a possibility that person may not be Christian therefore Happy Holidays is better suited to them. I really couldnt care, give Christmas spirit through your actions.

Something just happened to a local high school here that kind of has to do with this. The high school is being forced to remove a picture of a kid with his shirt off and his body painted with the school colors. People do it in the NFL college and all this but they're removing it from the yearbook for some reason.

Why incorporate everyone into a Christian holiday? If you're not Christian and get offended by Merry Christmas then why would you even want to celebrate it anyway?

the point is not to incorportate non-Christians into a Christian holiday, but recognize that there are different holidays being celebrated at that time. i am a Christian, but i do not find offense in "happy holidays". it's either the people at wal-mart say that or say "merry christmas, happy hannukah, happy ramadan, happy kwanza" to every customer to walks in the store. it not only saves time, but it saves you from mistakenly saying "merry christmas" to someone who is not Christian.

If you live in a Christian country respect their religions and holy days.

I wouldn't move to India and start getting offended by Turbans. That would be dumb.



Political correctness is out of hand. And it's always pretentious white people who start it. Anyone who has said that "Happy Holidays is better" or "Baa Baa Black Sheep is racist" who isn't white. I doubt it.

If Merry Christmas is offensive to non-Christians, then surely Happy Holidays is offensive to people who don't celebrate any kind of holy day around that time?

Yes.

What I meant was you can't move to a Christian country and then get offended by Christianity.

It's like going to a vegan shop and complaining they don't sell meat.
