We are not Mexicans and we complain about Mexicans not assimilating to American culture. Sends mixed messages and I think we fought and won battles vs Mexico to win independence for Texas and other southwest territories.

Is it a federal holiday? Did you get the day off of work today?

Maybe just shut the frick up and stop crying about everything

Same reason we celebrate St. Patrick's Day and other cultural events. To get drunk.

Because everyone wants an excuse to drink margaritas in the middle of the week.

So that pseudointellectuals can have this debate on an annual basis.

While we're at it let's bitch about the Star Wars dorks that were excited about May 4th

Did you know the Cinco de mayo isn't really even a thing in Mexico. Maybe just enjoy your tacos and margs like the rest of us and quit being a party pooper.

It's an excuse to eat Mexican food and drink beers and margaritas.

If we put our heads together I think we can find an excuse to get drunk every day.
