Political Correctness Gone Mad

Xmas
We'd just been to the last union party before xmas.
The throng of students was gradually being ushered outside and my mates and I started separating to go home.
Because I wouldn't see him till the new year, I shouted 'Happy Christmas' to a mate a few yards away. An asian guy next to me then demanded I apologise.
"What for?" I asked incredulously.
"That's not my religion" he said. I really couldn't believe this bollocks so I refused which started a fight.
Utterly ridiculous.
Firstly, why is he there if he's so hateful of christianity as it was the Xmas party. Secondly, I'm an atheist SO IT'S NOT MY RELIGION EITHER!

last christmas
we were on a cruise in the caribbean. most of the people on board were merkins, and a lot of them were jewish. we only realised this when we overheard the merkins on the table next to us bollocking the sweet little filippino waitress for wishing them a merry christmas on christmas morning.
"that is offensive to most of the people in this room. can you learn to say 'happy holidays'?"
my brothers were restrained with difficulty from bashing them. instead, much to my embarrassment, one said loudly, can you learn to say "patronising racist twat"?
they were cunts, though. overly made up bejewlled big haired gold shoe wearing shoulder padded cunts. and that was just the men!
