and you can wish me whatever you want, but don't expect that i keep all american holidays in mind - unless you volunteer to learn all czech holidays ;)

you're dead on imo about political correctness, if I wished (as an example) a Jewish person a Merry Christmas, I think it would be appropriate and a bit entertaining if they wished me a Happy Hanukkah. To me things like that are just well wishes and I will accept as many of those as possible.

It's hard to get me offended though. Happy-white-man-killing day wouldn't even stir me up and I'm about as white as can be.

That would be a mistake to wish me a Happy Bastille day or any other holiday like that. I would follow up with several questions regarding that specific holiday because I would be curious to learn about their customs and such. Could be a longer conversation then they were looking for!
I hear ya on the not being offended by the kill whitey day, it would be funny (unless I was the one they wanted to kill) I am as lily as they come.
I bet I could read a newspaper through my hand!
