In a recent statement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, we learned that Christmas is not racist.
This clarification, while reassuring, highlights a troubling trend that a holiday with religious origins is being challenged as racist and discriminatory at all. This matter isn’t rooted in the holiday’s current essence or practice, but stems from the mere acknowledgment of Christmas as a national holiday at all. It’s a concerning fate for a holiday that for most Canadians is secular in all but its namesake.
