A buddy of mine likes to wear a "Dont mess with Mexicans" t shirt occasionally. First time I saw it I laughed and said "you were conquered by the French, how tough can you be?". He wasn't very amused.

There was some hack comedian who had a bit about how sanguine Mexicans were about creating holidays. The Irish have a backstory for St. Patrick's day. African Americans created a religion to justify Kwanzaa. Elaborate stories behind Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. And ask Mexicans about their holiday 'it's the 5th of May, Ese. What more can I say? It's the 5th of May.'
He sells the bit and you might even chuckle, . . . then you realize we celebrate the 4th of July.

If we get rid of cinco de mayo, then we damned well get rid of valentines day, Columbus day, and secretaries and bosses days, and all those worthless hallmark holidays. I dig cinco de mayo. I whip up some killer Mexican food, drink a few dos equis or pacificos, etc.
In fact, we need an Ethan Allen kind of day, or a Paul Revere day, where everyone drinks Sam Adams and eats venison stew. If you are against eating and drinking for any reason, then you are a fascist! |

it isn't going anywhere for the simple fact it is a good warmup to the national awesomeness that is Memorial Day weekend. It also has a name that sounds good and is fun to say.

Can say, if I didn't have internet, I would have forgotten about cinco de mayo by now. No one down here thinks anything of it, just another day. The bigger holidays had already past May 1st being children's day, and May 2nd labor day.
