Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the arrival of spring. Known widely as the Festival of Colour and Love.
It's absolutely delightful and is a raucous affair where people chase each other around, throwing handfuls of coloured powders (known as gulal) at one another, while getting drenched in water.
There's cheap booze and dancing all day!

I went to this last week. It was so much fun & an amazing inclusive event put on by the Indian community.

I’m not Hindi, so can I just have a Holi Joli Labor Day?

I can't see the phrase "true colors" without automatically thinking of Kerrigan from BW, frickin stabbing Fenix & Edmund in the back...

I'm pretty sure Holi is about that time a lady tried to kill her nephew and got burned alive.

They locked women into their dorms from 6pm-9am Sunday so they wouldn't get sexually harassed. Yay Holi Day!

Let's promote a predominantly Indian festival with an image of a young, attractive white woman.

If the event takes place in USA for eg, why not? A country does not have a monopoly on its culture. Nor can it ever.

Spring? *Looks outside, sees snow falling horrendously* ...Like... The end of spring...?

DO NOT PUT COLOURS ON PETS.....THEY GET ITCY AND MAY LICK THE HARMFUL CHEMICALS.
DeathsDeathOfRats
At least the one I went to, the colours were food grade and nontoxic. Probably not ideal to ingest lots.

So humans are ok?

It's dyed cornstarch, not chemical weaponry (still don't want it in your eyes though).

I just think an eyball full of coloured powder is unavoidable.
MadScientist356
Actually, most times it's quite fine, especially since it's used with water to spray it on people

A lot of Americans and Europeans go to India and celebrate.
MadScientist356
Or have events in their own countries :)

Best way to go blind.
MadScientist356
That's like saying going on the airplane is the best way to die
Benhorn7
Not really. It more like saying that stepping on a diamond is the best way to hurt your foot.
MadScientist356
Umm no...Maybe if the diamond was a rounded and flat marble pebble
Benhorn7
I don't have time for this, so let's simply agree to disagree and be done with it.

Do you want asthma? 'Cause that's how you get asthma
MadScientist356
Nope, actually, no you don't. That's not how asthma works
mydamnkidsdontthinkimfunny
PerhapsI should have said "Do you want to trigger an asthma attack? 'Cause that's how you trigger an asthma attack. " -Source -me so STFU
MadScientist356
Causing and triggering are two very different things...you said a wrong thing and I should shut up?
mydamnkidsdontthinkimfunny
Yes.
MadScientist356
Why?
