As a foreigner, I don't care. Holiday schedule is one out of many issues with US-centric policy and culture, but mainstream biases exist everywhere. This is about an employee perk. Extra time off is always much appreciated, especially in the US tech sector where prestige white collar work = your life & identity. Most work overtime during the year anyway and are available outside of business hours and make countless other sacrifices for their employer every hour of every day. Moreover, many of us celebrate Thanksgiving and July 4th anyway, because, well everyone else is (ie the same reason as most Americans).
