I don't know what happens on the 12th, the Orange show off their true colors??
It's not a racist holiday. It's agricultural in origin, it's not so much founding of the colonies, as it is a harvest feast. The Isrealites had something similar in the Feasts of Booths. And being religious that is probably why the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving.
