I disagree. I've gotten precisely that reaction for having the nerve to call my department's Christmas party a holiday party instead.
You can parse minor differences all you want, in how one's minority status may or may not make itself known, but I don't think there is any group that doesn't have to think about what they do/do not say in interactions with the majority group. If you don't have to think about it, that is a privilege. That is all I mean to point out.
