Tom: Y'know. I think part of the problem with Kwanzaa is it kinda perpetuates this fallacy of a monolithic "African Culture". Huey: Hmm...expound.. Tom: The intent is good, but the holiday ignores the variety and diversity of African cultures in favor of something oversimplified...even...generic. Huey: Interesting. I think I can consider that a fair critique. Tom: And what's with the candles? What is this, some kinda low-budget hanukkah? Huey: All right, all right! I get the point.
