[quote=Anonymous]NP Jew here. I wouldn't be offended by you using yellow for your cookies, but I would think it a little odd. I can think of at least three more likely colors/decor themes associated with "holiday, cookie, Jewish, 6-pointed star" and I would wonder why your mind didn't go there.  Yeah stars give off light but the 6-pointed star is a geometric symbol, like the cross, not a representation of a specific celestial object like the Christmas 5-pointed star.

To be honest, if a coworker did something like that, I might let them know about it not because I am offended but because it makes very clear that their brain works in strange ways and is likely to make easily-misinterpreted choices.  Someone who would think nothing of decorating Jewish stars yellow might also bring in crosses decorated in red and orange squiggles for MLK day. You know, because MLK was a preacher, and crosses are made of wood, and you didn't have brown.   Your coworkers may be trying to save you from your own lack of consideration. [/quote]
