Drinko de Mayo is just a way to sell cerveza to the Gringos. I never “celebrate” it or St Patrick’s Day for the same reason.

Celebrate on this day, the fifth of Miracle Whip!

It’s got the ZIP!

The Alamo. Is that battle taught in the public school system? Or, is Cinco de Mayo?

I only celebrate the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. In fact, I made a film about it!

The author needs to put down his tinfoil beanie and step away.

Cinco de Mayo is a drinking holiday.

Inexplicable to talk of leftism or “diversity” boogiemen

Does anyone ever really need an excuse to drink beer and eat spicy Mexican food. I’m just sayin’.

Because it is cultural appropriation at its worst!

Wearing Sombreros, eating tacos, yelling “Ole,” doing the Mexican Hat Dance...the horrors!

I guess it’s better than celebrating the birthday of Karl Marx. I’m just sayin’.

The idiot author doesn’t understand the difference between “celebrating” and taking advantage of cheap mexican style food and drinks.

Most Mexican food known in the US is really Texan food so eat away. I’m having Chinese today.

O M G! Just saw two ladies go by in a boat with pink somberos....

What a whole bunch of stupid Pollyanna idiocy. It’s a BEER holiday GET OVER IT. It’s no different than American celebration of St Patrick’s Day. Bet this guy didn’t get his panties in a twist in March. Mexicans don’t give a damn about Cinco De Mayo and celebrating it does ZERO damage to American history.
