It's chinese new year? Why they call it lunar year? Yes I know their calendar is running by the moon. Is "lunar year" ultra-woke to avoid a "ugly" word like "chinese"? An other case of woke racism?
It's celebrated in many Asian countries, so calling it lunar New Year is a simple way to not group them all as Chinese.
