In an email to the student body, a Gonzaga University administrator cautioned that Cinco de Mayo has become "full of cultural appropriation," directing them to a flyer listing "alternative" ways of celebrating the holiday. "Don't you dare put on that 'sombrero,'" the flyer tells students, suggesting that they "donate to organizations working for immigrant rights" rather than have a party. Another option is to "support AUTHENTIC Mexican businesses" run by "actual Mexican people," though it cautions that "CHIPOTLE DOESN’T COUNT."

Only natural born Americans should be allowed to eat hot dogs and hamburgers. And ice cream!
Western Judeo-Christian ideals were created by Caucasians...every one else go back to living in caves and killing each other. I for one have had it with this extreme cultural appropriation.
The message clearly is: Mexicans are so bad and their holidays and culture so degraded, any non-Mexican is committing a grave sin by engaging in such celebrations.
“Why is that cultural appropriation is almost always something only Whites are accused of?”
Trying to point out the obvious double standard will not work with these people because it is all about hating on Whites.
Just some.
This needs to be filed under the heading:
“You Just Can’t Make This S**T Up.”
Anyone who sends their child to a Jesuit run school should have realized a long time ago that Jesuits are not Catholic. Just take a look at the guy who lives in a hotel room inside the Vatican.
By what authority does a college official have the duty to instruct students on what to do or not do with their time off campus? They are in business to provide education and students pay good money as customers of the college. Students as legal adults are not subject to campus dictates off campus. College administrators need to remember that they are not teaching primary education.
The students should take this one step further and post signs on campus and around town to BOYCOTT MEXICAN FOOD restaurants to prove they will not be appropriating Mexican culture on Cinco de Mayo.
As for me, I’m going to get five with mayonnaise, just like the name says.
Cultural appropriation?
More like cultural extermination. Of AMERICAN culture.
Screw Mexican crap, meant to bolster ILLEGAL tolerance. Even though it is a false holiday hardly recognized by Mexicans.
For me May 5 is for American celebration of Derby Day.
The folks in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah should also celebrate San Jacinto Day. Had the Mexicans prevailed at San Jacinto, those states would today be part of Mexico.
San Jacinto Memorial, La Porte, Texas
Surprised they don’t ask them to each hire an illegal. There is nothing more authentic than letting Mexican illegals take our jobs.
Why that’s exactly like HRC supporters touting her massive presidential win in California.
The 5th is the appropriate day to watch the spaghetti documentary: Two Mules For Sister Sara.
Pretty much...
It not only “stink de mayo” but pretty much the rest of the year also.
