Yesterday I watched a free online 2 and half hour live Zoom hosted by the Asia Society celebrating the upcoming Asian New Year. I wish everyone a Happy New Year of the Tiger!

There's really only one way to celebrate, which is with an enormous Chinese dinner, starting with dumplings and proceding to an array of dishes that include duck.

While I can respect everyone's own holidays, there is only one new year and calendar. Sorry folks. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

Yes, we know that you hate Asian people. Lunar New Year has been celebrated for thousands of years.

Are Jewish people allowed to celebrate Rosh Hoshanah?

There was a similar Asian/Chinese hating user who was from Queens and was banned. RussiaRussiaRussia

Once he was banned, QueensGuy72 came along and had very similar Asian hating posts. I'm guessing 1972 was the year that he was born and RussiaRussiaRussia also made posts that he was about the same age.

Now you come along and have a similar posting style.

Is it a coincidence?

Alternate side parking is suspended for New Year. There you go drivers you can thank Asian people for this small gift.

Alternate side parking suspensions are always good.

Are you referring to the fact that Rep. Grace Meng and others are trying to make it a federal holiday?!
