Ask any family celebrating Thanksgiving in America, and no one will tell you that they are celebrating the "wholesale slaughter of the indigenous population".
That is not what Thanksgiving is about.
Perhaps you could take time out of your busy day of self-gratification to feel thankful for anything, only to be told you are celebrating the "wholesale slaughter of the indigenous population", even though such comment is nonsensical. How would you feel?
So this holiday is not celebrated in the UK... Maybe you could let us have our holiday without pissing in our Cheerios, eh? Maybe YOU could be thankful that the average American is thankful for ANYthing.
Me? I'm thankful we won our independence from a nation of self-important blowhards and no longer have to care what they think of us.

How Shallow can you be, Blue?
