Ever wonder why the multi-cultis think that every society's culture ought to be respected, except for our own?

Cheat the Native American Day? Where? When? I want to celebrate that. Really.

AKA "Turkey Day", or as PETA calls it "Turkey Holocaust Day". "Cheat the Native American Day" has another name, but I forgot.
