Its a holiday celebrating the emancipation of slaves, specifically the last slaves from Texas
no us citizens alive today:
1. were slaves here in America
2. owned slaves here in america

using your logic no one should be celebrating it.

anywhere.

No one "celebrates it". It's marketing gimmick for liquor and beer companies.

Does "ocho" mean the sock number for hedge? Or is this manny?

I am white. We are in Texas. Pendejo is just as easy for me as calling someone an ahole.
Few years ago y'all liberals wanted a blending of the cultures. Now you want separation. Pues que chingas quieres ochita?

I've never seen white people dress up for cinco de mayo, but WGAS if they do. It's a fake holiday that white people and marketing departments in Texas dreamed up anyway.

So its basically a white holiday in that regard. Have fun with it.

Mexicans and the Irish are my favorite drunks. We need a drinking holiday in April to keep the buzz going.

The general that led the Mexican army was born outside of Goliad, ergo, it's a celebration of a fellow Texan.

/eot, hedge.

Hispanic guy here….don't give a flying eff if gringos want to wear serapes, sombreros, or wear mustaches. Hell, men dress and pretend to be women, and those people are celebrated.

How dare you assume my ethnicity!! My great, great, great, great great Grandfather was Gonzalo Gonzalez so maybe I am partially Hispanic. All I know if my family was here before yours when we settlers in Tejas back in 1825ish. Plus I get drunk every day so there's that.

Look at hedge trying to get street cred by lying about living in the barrio.

Hedge, a hint from someone who actually grew up in one. It is not something to be proud of. At all.

Why not? Just about everyone celebrates St. Patrick's Day, even if not Irish.




I always find it ironic when I know of an atheist who celebrates St Patrick's Day

Back in the day, my fraternity had a party called S.O.B. (South of the Border). We dressed up in sombreros and serapes and got ****-faced on rot-gut tequila. It was fun and caused absolutely no harm (except to our livers). Pretty sure the cancel crowd would have a vaca over this now.
