The news spot doesn’t mention the scrooge’s ethnicity.
Likely therefore that this was a muzzie.

Would it be culturally insensitive or unPC if you said “Hello, have a nice day” in English to someone who either doesn’t speak English or doesn’t speak English as a first language?

Not necessarily. There are people, even so-called Christians, who want to rid our society of anything related to God and Christ. Some want to show how tolerant they are of other beliefs. Some may even feel guilty they are Christians because of some terrible things in the history of Christianity. Some are just godless commies.
Religion has been under attack for ages. I firmly believe this country started its descent into hell when prayer was banned from public schools. Today, Christianity is under direct assault. It's no longer a matter of recognizing other people's beliefs or lack thereof. Now they want to eliminate Christianity altogether.

I think the airline should buy him a Camel and send him back to the middle east.

There are people, even so-called Christians, who want to rid our society of anything related to God and Christ. Barry Lynn comes to mind.

I firmly believe this country started its descent into hell when prayer was banned from public schools I wouldn't mind prayer in public school, as long as it's my religion's prayer.
Are you ok with that? I can guarandamtee you that every mooselimb in the country would demand and get, every public school chiild bending their knees respectfully while they get on their prayer rugs and worship their god.

Only atheists and devil worshippers are upset by “Merry Christmas”. Religious Jews don’t seem bothered by it, and the rest fall into my 2 categories of haters.

Apparently the other passengers applauded and cheered when the asshat was removed from the flight.Too bad they didn't remove him from 25,000 feet!

Google the phrase “Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas”.
You’ll learn about the `oppression’ some people experience as the result of our society’s “Christonormativity”. A real hoot.
