I still think that celebrating a victory over the French is kind of a goofy idea. Especially if you were the home team. But hey! If it helps sell more beer, what the heck! Go for it.

The French were there because the Mexican Government had decided to welch on paying back the money France loaned them.

Instead of flying the Mexican flag on May 5 to celebrate the victory over the French, why not burn the French flag? That way the Hispanic and non-Hispanic students could unite.
