[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]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.[/b]   Your coworkers may be trying to save you from your own lack of consideration. [/quote]

Hunh?  No idea what you're trying to say.[/quote]
