Google Honors Cesar Chavez On Easter - Business Insider

Google's decision to celebrate Cesar Chavez's birthday today in its Doodle, rather than Easter, has spurred some mixed reviews on Twitter.

Cesar Chavez, whose 86th birthday would be today, was a labor leader, organizer, and activist.

A lot of people are so upset that they are threatening to switch to Bing.

But it seems that Google actually hasn't created an Easter doodle since 2000. In 2011, for example,?Google celebrated what would have been German chemist Robert Bunsen's 200th birthday.

Meanwhile, Bing's website features a ton of brightly colored eggs to commemorate Easter. But in Google's defense, President Barack Obama declared March 31, 2013 as Caesar Chavez Day.

Update:?"We enjoy celebrating holidays at Google but, as you may imagine, it's difficult for us to choose which events to highlight on our site," a Google spokesperson tells Business Insider via email. "Sometimes for a given date we feature an historical event or influential figure that we haven't in the past."

Here are some of the tweets from people threatening to make the switch to Bing:
