Someone on reddit comments pointed out how ridiculous it was since the guy is named "Christian" and then this comment:
> He said in a deleted post he wasn't Jewish. He's German and was just being offended on their behalf.
I don't have words really
- gmueckl 7y agoChristian is a normal and very common German first name. That alone doesn't tell you anything.
- Thorrez 7y agoSanta hats are a very normal sight in December in the United States. That alone doesn't tell you anything.
- Snetry 7y agoAre you wearing one right now?
- tatersolid 7y agoI am, actually. It’s cheap and itchy.
- nvr219 7y agoNobody offended enough by a santa hat to open a bug report would use the name Christian on that bug report. Obvious troll.
- gmueckl 7y agoCome on, this is equally ignorant on your part. First names are decided upon by the parents and that's it. In a lot of places, you're stuck with that for life. Inferring trolling from a user name that is a plausible real name is just ridiculous. I am not defending the bug report itself.

- pizza234 7y agoThis is actually a behavioral pattern of the masses, and it's very frequent in comedy. When somebody publicly pokes fun at a group, very often, advocates of the group (who do not belong to the group), will complain, even if nobody belonging to the group actually complained. I remember a comedian telling how he made a joke about priests, and while a priest actually wrote it was fun, religious associations (not priests!!) went berserk. Such cases are ego trips, however, I can see how it's difficult to handle them in a politically correct manner (I'd tell them to shut the mouth, but it's not possible in real world).
