    No racism, just accuracy.

    It’s more because so many cultures have a lunar calendar, so even though China is the largest population that uses the lunar calendar, it’s not precise to just call it the Chinese New Year, since so many countries and cultures also have a lunar calendar that share significant dates.

      Sorry, today it’s New Year in the Chinese Calendar. It’s celebrated by Chinese all over the world. And it’s not even a really “lunar” calendar. More precise is to call it a “lunar-solar” calendar. Racism, not accuracy.

            Definitely! Haha, let’s cancel your personal culture(shouldn’t be difficult with the minimal amount of culture you possess)!

            Also, I guess Yolo, that seems in your wheelhouse.

                  Ok, you are woke and use this words. This is ok. But you are wrong to call it a lunar year, because the chinese calendar is lunisonal. Ask Chat-GPT. So you can call it a lunisonal year.

                    Call it whatever you want, call me whatever you want.

                    I’ve encountered racism before you, I’ve encountered it from you.

                    Congrats. You joined the club.
