I'm aware and I don't care. I'm a product of those cultures and I'm happy to celebrate them- and I certainly won't allow others to dictate my lexicon based on association with groups they don't like
Then I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with whatever name they choose to call you based on your skin color etc., right? Because it's their lexicon, it's not for you to decide. Or maybe being able to say others must accept your choice of words is an assertion of privilege.
Ok fair. Then would they be wrong to associate you with those groups? Ie in the debates those ‘groups’ tend to wage, do you fall on their side?
Depends on the issue and the group. If you're making the argument that those who have no issue with the phrase 'celebrating European culture' tend to be more conservative then I'd agree
