When I was 17 I visited my brother in college. He was attending a small Catholic college outside of Charlotte, NC. This was in 1973. The weekend I got there the whole campus was abuzz, literally, because the Corona Beer Company had come by with all kinds of free promos and tons of Corona beer and all the kids were gushing about this thing called “Cinco De Mayo’’. To this day I grit my teeth in anger every May 5th. because for one thing I despise Mexico and it’s people and I don’t understand why Americans are celebrating a holiday of a bunch of people and a nation that hates us and is nothing more than a parasite to our country.
Because we like to drink, and Mexico doesn’t give a damn about the holiday. Stop gritting your teeth, it’s an AMERICAN holiday with a Spanish name.
