If you read my posts you’d know I stated our Koreans (or FTM, our Moslems who have “exploded” since 2001, God help us) are not catered to. They’re so clustered they finally did get to build pagodas on our main National Road portion calling it “Korean Way”. Other than that, they of course cater to each other so their businesses have Korean all over.
The point was how nationally a big deal is made about illegals (that is what it is, because there were plenty Mexicans in the USA before that were legal).
Not locally, though that’s indicative too.
Cinco de Mayo? Nobody knew what the hell that was until the last 20 years. Mexican-based kid movie featuring cultural things like that “Day of the Dead” creepiness, which likewise is showing up more in ads and things to buy at Michael’s. It’s absurd. Everything is to cater to illegals and make us “accept” it more. This didn’t happen with legal Mexicans who have been here for generations.
Don’t talk about “fact” when you can’t point out any data. I can’t either unless I research, but in MY perspective, things have gotten much more “Mexican” in my last 20 years whereas the first 30 were not.
It’s not simply more (illegal) Mexicans, it’s to undermine normal, European, American culture and principles. Just like TV shows featuring homos everywhere. Push it to force normalization.
Finis.
I read it, but as I pointed out just because you haven’t SEEN them being catered to doesn’t mean they aren’t. I lived in Tucson for years before my aunt moved to the part of town where I could see it. And if she hadn’t moved there I don’t know when I would have seen it.
Problem is your “point” is WRONG. Cinco de Mayo started being a big deal in the 80s. When AB was selling Corona in America, and it wasn’t doing well. So they started combing through the calendar looking for something they could push, like Guinness was already doing with St Patrick’s Day. Low and behold they found this obscure little holiday that 90% of Mexicans didn’t care about, but it had a nice ring to it, short words that rhymed. BOOM Cinco de Mayo was born. Much like the chimichanga it’s really an American creation using Mexican ingredients.
My first exposure to Day of the Dead was on the cover of Oingo Boingo’s 1985 Dead Man’s Party. Big deal. And again up here it’s very Americanized. Just like Halloween, which is really an Irish holiday but not celebrated there at all like it is here.
I’ve pointed you to lots of data. You just don’t like any of it. You are, quite simply, wrong.
