You don't even have to get into the intolerance of Christians to appreciate how completely stupid this is. Here you have a season which revolves around a particular holiday, and the reasons for celebrating that day can't even be acknowledged, in fact, we need to go out of our way to ignore them because they might be considered "offensive." Now, since we're supposed to respect "diversity," how can the recognition of somebody else's customs ever be "offensive?" That recognition is supposed to be the greatest good to these idiots.
Unless, of course, you aren't really interested in diversity at all, but rather, in destroying the cultural identity of your enemy.

This is almost beyond parody. Do liberals have a clue how utterly transparent their bigotry is?

You've hit the nail squarely on the head. One of the main points of the whole diversity movement is purportedly to enjoy and respect other people's traditions; so incidents like this show the big lie behind the diversity movement. For the left, the PURPOSE of respecting other cultures is to UNDERMINE our own culture and traditions; therefore they treat our own culture as the only culture whose public expression is deemed threatening or offensive. So what seems to us as blatant hypocrisy is to the left not hypocrisy at all; rather, it is simply lying.

"you aren't really interested in diversity at all, but rather, in destroying the cultural identity of your enemy."And that, my friend, is exactly the point.
