A dear friend of mine was born, raised and now just recently went back to his hometown of Guanajuato. He told me that they do not celebrate this supposed holiday in Mexico. It’s just a big deal here in America. I don’t know about other areas in Mexico, but he said that it’s just another day over there.

Per Wikipedia

"While Cinco de Mayo sees limited significance and celebration nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed nationwide in the United States and other locations around the world"

Ironic or political tool

We report. You decide...
