One of my coworkers started to wish me a happy new year, but stopped halfway through and said, "oh wait, it's not YOUR new year." WTH. Yes, I also celebrate chinese new year, but I was born and raised in New York...I celebrate this one too.
I married an Italian, but my family background is German. Anyway, after I got married, one of my older coworkers was talking about food and she said, "You know what you Italians like? Gnocchi."
I was like....um, now I'm Italian? Haha - the only thing I thought I'd changed was my last name, but suddenly my heritage is switched. Like I said, people are dumb.

Wow, that was the dumbest way to be "PC." But you know what? We get money for our new year (or at least when we were kids) so I'll take that over sparkly hats and glowing balls.
Re: "It's not your New Year" Seriously?
OMG...people are really stupid sometimes.
