It’s that time of year again; one can smell the pumpkin pies, the turkeys, and the celebrities signaling their virtue at the expense of hallowed American traditions.
Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik posted a video to Youtube on November 16 explaining the 4 reasons why she doesn’t like Thanksgiving. Buried underneath the milder complaints of “eating copious amounts of food” and the proximity of Thanksgiving to the Jewish traditional version of Thanksgiving, Bialik brought up a ridiculous reason to loathe an American holiday:
“History is written by the winners. I grew up coloring pictures of pilgrims and indigenous people -- we called them Indians when I was a child -- having this beautiful Thanksgiving together. The truth is, European invaders came to this land, took it from the indigenous people, raped, pillaged, gave them all sorts of diseases, called it their own, and desecrated a culture. It is one of the grossest examples of genocide in recent history and much as I don’t want to think about that, it’s really hard for me not to think about that when I think about Thanksgiving.”
Ouch. So ignoring the beautiful tradition that has been practiced by families in America for hundreds of years, people shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving because the pilgrims, among other things, were “invaders” who brought “all sorts of diseases” to the Native Americans? If that’s the case, then whoever brought the Black Death to Europe in the 14th century was a war criminal. And if she wants to rant and rave about how dreadful the colonials were, every country, every nation, and every region has had the lion’s share of enormous human flaws and brutality.
As a vegan (and nobody virtue signals like a vegan!) Bialik also doesn’t like having a turkey on Thanksgiving. She said, “I don’t like the tradition of killing a bird that in most cases has been genetically modified so that it’s so big that it can’t even stand up and then you lay it’s carcass on a tray and you carve it up and then you eat it. I don’t like that tradition. I don’t want that one. And I know. You think, “you vegans ruin everything.” Well, you know what? I think your tradition of killing an animal and laying its carcass and eating the skin and the flesh of it -- I think its gross. That ruins it too.”
There are some issues with being vegan too. For starters, many of the ingredients used by vegans, including quinoa, are harvested from third world countries. This causes the prices of food in places like Peru to go up, and poor people end up having to pay more. Being vegan is not necessarily the greatest lifestyle to have, if someone wants to talk about injustice and genocide.
of The perks of Thanksgiving for Bialik? The “attitude of gratitude” and the Macy’s Day Parade. Hating on mainstream positivity and modern cultural customs is a bridge too far for Bialik. Think of the bad publicity!
And here we have ladies and gentlemen, today’s classic example of the insanity brought on by liberalism. Each and every day we have another classic example. Today, it’s this one. They just can’t help themselves....dumber than a box of rocks, they are.
“...Why can’t movie and TV stars be more like grocery store clerks?...”
Because the poor grocery store clerk is out actually working trying to make a living. Movie & TV stars are like the King’s court jesters of old....nothing but entertainment..IF you wanna call it that. In their pea brain, they think they’re something special. In reality, they are a NOTHING burger....kinda like Congress.
I guess she would be happier if the Indians were left to continue their killing of one another.
I have a weird need to stick a raw potato in her mouth
Which un-funny actress/actor is it?
Holy crap. No wonder she is a “vegan”. No dead animal would deign to be forked into that mouth.
I remember when the news channels always had a Thanksgiving report. They always managed to find some vegetarian or vegan to tell us all how we should be eating.
You can bet she has no problem with genocide in the womb.

Some photoshop expert should redo that Norman Rockwell painting with a bale of hay for the turkey.
Self loathing and guilt ridden, it is what they are.
These young morons, they think they know everything. They don’t realize how dense they are.
There are no indigenous people in America, just those whose ancestors arrived sooner.
Thanks for that!
I thought Bialik had a level head. I guess I’m not watching the Big Bang Theory, not that I’ve been watching it of late.

DANG!
She’s also into attachment parenting, having the child in the parents’ bed and breast fed her son until he was 4. Why stop there? Keep him attached until he’s 21. She’s a weirdo. Deny it all she wants, her nutty ideas caused her husband to divorce her.
Thank you for that. Reminds me of Thanksgiving at Grandma’s in the ‘50s.
Thankfully, the cast hasn’t brought in too much of their real personalities. Sheldon isn’t gay and neither is Leonard’s ex, Leslie Winkle. Sadly, frumpy Amy is just as frumpy in real life.
Guessing Mayim would say my great-great grandparents deserved being killed by the indigenous folk.
Ironically, Bialik is one of the few Hollywood celebrities who supports Israel, which is often accused of the same crime by many of the same people.
She must be one of those "Golda Meir was Castro" types.
