I do think it's important that people know what it is they're celebrating, but yeah like my local Chinese community always does a lunar new year celebration that is open to everyone. I think a lot of Chinese people (and other communities that celebrate the lunar new year, like Okinawan Korean Vietnamese and many others) see open celebration as creating more appreciation for and understanding of their culture.

Crazy, what an entirely reasonable thing to think.

Yeah, get out of here with that; this is the Internet.

More importantly: a celebration that you can get to by just looking at the bloody sky.

Probably about that Karen-level right there.

Right about where you're that desperate for attention, it isn't your place to say and it helps literally nobody.

Just about that pathetic.
