Kills me that people swallow stuff like this pseudo-holiday and declare it delicious without any awareness of what it represents.

Society does not benefit from artificial "balancing" , from trying to create some holidays and suppress others in order to make sure that each ethnic group has an equal number of holidays and time in history. That kind of manipulation destroys honest, true, real organic society and replaces it with fake, styrofoam society, just like those fake tomatoes that look good but have no taste or nutrients.
