Is the expression ‘Irish Thanksgiving’ a racist stereotypical slur? - POLL

Urban Dictionary gives the holiday a new meaning

The wonder of the uniquely American holiday of Thanksgiving is that it is nondiscriminatory and isn’t tied to any one religion or ethnicity. Further, it seems to have oddly escaped much of the commercial hoopla that is associated with other holidays, such as Christmas. Materialism isn’t really tied to Thanksgiving in America, but giving thanks with those you love is.

By dubbing Thanksgiving as “Irish” by associating it with isolation and alcohol, one removes all the realistic connotations of what a modern Irish Thanksgiving actually is. For Irish and Irish Americans like myself, Thanksgiving is indeed more about time shared with loved ones rather than the avoidance of family in favor for Guinness and Boston Market.

What do you think? What does your “Irish Thanksgiving” consist of?
