Happy Cinco de Mayo

[briansd1]

meadandale, why get angry and read things that aren’t there into the reported events?

The admins were trying to deal with that one even.

I knew this thread would bring out the racists.

And it’s true that beer companies have done their best to turn Cinco de Mayo into yet another alcoholiday, but we’ve already done the same to our own patriotic holidays. :)[/quote]

Yep. It’s kind of like St. Patricks day – and as American. Until the 90’s it was a St’s day and holiday – but not celebrated with parades and drinking in Ireland. Then the Irish decided to co-opt the holiday back from the US.

Here in the US… it’s all about the booze.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The Mexican Independence day is in September. And barely noticed on this side of the border.

“I’m not going to apologize. I did nothing wrong,” Galli said. “I went along with my normal day. I might have worn an American flag, but I’m an American and I’m proud to be an American.”

Wow… That is some bizarre insecurity, right there. Claiming the urge to show “pride” on Cinco de Mayo shows instability. I think an appointment with a therapist would have been more apropos rather than removal. The scolding was inappropriate and feeds his victim mentality. Obviously, his wearing of the shirt was because he feels threatened. The students should have been asked to be kind and inclusive to him because of his delicate emotional state.

Ironically, Cinco de Mayo is mostly an american holiday, a strange hybrid celebrating a mexican event but american nonetheless
