The only reason these holidays were on the calendar to begin with is because they were kissing other people's feet earlier. People are upset because now it's somebody else's turn to receive token gestures.

You don't have to like this but it's more clear than ever before Google never cared about any of these holidays

You’re saying that as if it’s a defense.

“The only reason they were on the calendar was to recognise underprivileged minorities. Now they’re catering to the whims of the most powerful man on earth. What hypocrisy to be upset by one and not the other!”

[SkinTaco]

I see you agree with the people who were having their feet kissed earlier, sorry to hear your token gesture has been taken away. I'm sure you'll get it back in another 4 years.

It’s as clear as day that you’re avoiding engaging with anything I said. I don’t understand why you’d bother replying if that’s your intent.

I suppose disregarding whatever the original foot kissing may have been, does it cause any harm to acknowledge these things publicly on calendars?

Well, I'll take token gestures when they align with my values of caring for fellow citizens and all that jazz ... not when they align with the rise of fascism.

Would you support White history month being on Google calendar? Or do you only care for some of your fellow citizens

[LightBug1]

An entirely odd response is my first impression.

You sound pretty vague. Feel free to outline the purpose of that month and how it helps me care for my fellow citizens? Perhaps I would with the right reasoning.

However, your intent seems pretty weak off the bat.

For example, I'm in the UK. A black history month comes around and highlights lesser known facts around lesser known people. Doesn't bother me in the slightest and I get to enjoy some different experiences, food, and people. We also have Hindu festivals. We have Jewish festivals, etc etc etc.

Further, every other month in my country, though not explicitly called white history month, IS effectively white history month and a celebration of its culture. And I often celebrate and enjoy that element of the cultural landscape just the same.

So ... you want another month? Is that it? Interesting ... but not really.

[SkinTaco]

Another month? Which is the first month?

[LightBug1]

You're like a fish in water, asking what water is ... (and that's being generous).
