I don't really get why they're making such a big deal about this. It's cool and all, but like, who really benefits from it? Oh well, I guess it's nice to recognize different cultures and stuff.

I don't get why they're wasting time on this. It's like, who even celebrates Nowruz here? This is just another example of our government not focusing on what really matters. SMH.
