The default to &#8216;Merry Christmas&#8217; as a normal greeting is also white supremacy culture at work. If someone celebrates, then by all means. But so many people don&#8217;t,&#8221; Bokoff tweeted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"2b791\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"faee149733e3cf02b8d6942a915a76ab\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1342600602052943872&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Ffurnace%2Fmerry-christmas-white-supremacy&amp;partner=rebelmouse&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1342600602052943872\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bokoff&#8217;s claim is dripping with irony. That&#8217;s because Christmas is one of Christianity&#8217;s two major holiday seasons (the other being Easter, of course). And Christianity is, in fact, the\u00a0largest global multiethnic religion, which means Christmas was celebrated on every continent and nearly every country on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Bokoff&#8217;s message generated a tsunami of backlash, resulting in Bokoff &#8220;locking&#8221; her Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>One person\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CancelKarma\/status\/1342605187840692224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">responded<\/a>, &#8220;My best friend&#8217;s Muslim family, our black neighbors, my Jewish college roommate &#8211; ALL celebrate Christmas and no one gets pissed when they say &#8216;Merry Christmas.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another person\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrismykrantz\/status\/1342614792872275968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a>, &#8220;Who wants to tell her that hundreds of millions of Christians who celebrate Christmas worldwide are something other than white?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One person\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MJ4RollTide\/status\/1342642862891151365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pointed out<\/a>, &#8220;This isn&#8217;t a racist white thing.
