Oof I had a counselor once who went off unprompted about how there’s a MLK Day but no White Person Day, among other manifestations of bigotry I’ve encountered in my community
Even if they had a day (which they do, it’s the various holidays for different European cultures) they’d still complain. Like how the only time people mention International Men’s Day is when they say why don’t we have one during International Women’s Day in February. But not in June, which is when International Men’s Day actually happens.
The equivalent of MLK Day is Presidents’ Day. I’m not even sure what you mean by European holidays, Halloween? I would not consider Christian holidays like Easter or Christmas to be white holidays and can’t think of anything else that qualifies as “European”

Damn, those search spikes are like clockwork. Could we harness cyclical outrage to generate power, like the tides?

Since when is it in June? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Men’s_Day says it’s on November 19th.
Are there two international men’s days or why is there a spike in June?
Like a child complaining there’s no children’s day…
Tbf the fact that there’s no LinkOpensChest.wav Appreciation Day feels like a major oversight
I love this analogy, because you literally have a birthday and forgot about it lol.
This is true! 🥳
technically there is :P

I’ve heard similar complaints about February. Bigots gonna bigot, I suppose.
