    No racism, just accuracy.

    It’s more because so many cultures have a lunar calendar, so even though China is the largest population that uses the lunar calendar, it’s not precise to just call it the Chinese New Year, since so many countries and cultures also have a lunar calendar.

      Sorry, today it’s New Year in the Chinese Calendar. It’s celebrated by Chinese all over the world. And it’s not even a really “lunar” calendar. More precise is to call it a “lunar-solar” calendar. Racism, not accuracy.
