It seems a bit ironic to me that whenever this issue pops up no one ever mentions the cultural institutions or holidays that involve nonminority cultures, like st. patricks's day or octoberfest.
It seems like a natural extension of the OP would be to suggest that the celebration of hannukah perpetuates anti-semitism because it highlights differences between the minority jewish culture and the majority christian culture in america.
I guess i would like ask mr. doublenaught which sorts of cultural differentiation are acceptable and which aren't and why.
