It’s chinese new year? Why they call it lunar year? Yes I know their calendar is running by the moon. Is “lunar year” ultra-woke to avoid a “ugly” word like “chinese”? An other case of woke racism?
It’s more because so many cultures have a lunar calendar, so even though China is the largest population that uses the lunar calendar, it’s not precise to just call it the Chinese New Year, since so many countries and cultures also have a lunar calendar that share significant dates.
Sorry, today it’s New Year in the Chinese Calendar. It’s celebrated by Chinese all over the world. And it’s not even a really “lunar” calendar. More precise is to call it a “lunar-solar” calendar. Racism, not accuracy.
Ok, you are woke and use this words. This is ok. But you are wrong to call it a lunar year, because the chinese calendar is lunisonal. Ask Chat-GPT. So you can call it a lunisonal year.

It’s celebrated in many Asian countries, so calling it lunar New Year is a simple way to not group them all as Chinese.
let’s all agree on “oriental new year” then?
(kidding, of course)
No racism, just accuracy.

We agree; all of the stuff you’re saying is just racism, not accuracy.
Who is “we”? Cancel Culture! Haha.
Definitely! Haha, let’s cancel your personal culture(shouldn’t be difficult with the minimal amount of culture you possess)!
Also, I guess Yolo, that seems in your wheelhouse.
Happy New Chinese Year!
Thanks! Inaccurate, but consistent with your line of reasoning.
