You dont need a reason to have a margarita, why pretend to give a damn about a holiday that has zero relation to Americans?

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

The answer to your question may be in the answer to another. Why does the whole damn nation now celebrate Juneteenth?

Oh great.

Now I'm being subtly accused of cultural appropriation for drinking tequila on a Friday in May.

You libs ruin everything.

So you live in the hood? I thought you did well for yourself and took care of your kids? I cant imagine anyone in a half decent neighborhood shooting someone for a costume.

"Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5, commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, A larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at a Second Battle of Puebla and occupied Mexico City."

So to be fair, Mexico won the first battle, but lost the war... So let's celebrate..

Perfect description of what it is, but no explanation for why it's a national holiday now. I award you no points.

This is a terrible thread. Even for you.

If you want to ask a question why do any Mexicans outside of Puebla celebrate the holiday?

It's a rationalization to socialize and drink excessive amounts of beer and liquor without peer judgement.

I have celebrated it many times as I grew up in San Antonio with a lot of Mexican American friends.

The festivals in downtown San Antonio are like no other. So much fun and is great to see the culture and heritage expressed through their music, dancing and traditional Mexican foods.

Cultural appreciation and nostalgia are my reasons.

A lot of non Irish Catholics celebrate St. Patrick's feast day. I don't know anyone who goes out of their way to celebrate Cinco de mayo. I don't even know what Cinco de mayo is other than May 5th, and a Mexican celebration.
