Wonderful of your friend to be so sensitive and to end the cycle of misinformation.
What I don't get is why they don't just join a Jewish family for Passover? Most Jewish communities are pretty welcoming and happy to host people. I've hosted many families with my parents, including a Catholic priest, Baptist members of the United States Army, a Palestinian Muslim couple who needed a place to stay. No one has a problem, as long as they're respectful.
I almost choked when one neighbor informed me she's making a traditional Passover meal of pork roast, crescent rolls and lobster. I don't care what you serve when you steal my culture, and I know many Jews do eat those foods, but those aren't traditional foods of Passover. When i asked her if she planned to get bitter herbs, salt water, and charoset, she had no idea what I was talking about.
