I've never said that, hell I am an immigrant to the U.S. so I'd be hypocrite saying that, technically none deserves the right to tell us to leave because this is the only continent that was pretty much uninhabited until the land bridge...

Why should Mexican Americans go back to Mexico?

Simple! because they jumped over the fence thats why my mother came here the legal way why cant they?

and as for the whole cinco de mayo thing i think this is just plain this is america we celebrate american holidays we dont recognize that holiday... its fine if they do celebrate it though like in thre own house throw a party sure what ever but this is just plain wrong and stupid

You are the kind of moron I was talking about. I said why should Mexican-Americans go back to Mexico? Don't know if you read the rest of my post. I wasn't talking about illegal immigration... I'm talking about Mexican-Americans. They are American citizens...

What do you mean? Why would an "American" month be racist? Everyone in America is American, except visitors and illegals... why would that be offensive

What I ment was even though we observe these different cultural holdidays, We could be called racist for even mentioning an American history month. I was called racisit for mentioning that at my school.

We might not have an american history month, but we have american history day, i.e. Fourth of July... How's it racist all the above is different peoples, america is called a melting pot for a reason. An american history month would celebrate all the trail and tribulations that the people of this country have undergone to make it what it is today.

On the main topic, I think that Cinco de Mayo is overdone. Its just a celebration of the day some Mexican militia beat part of the Napoleons army. Its a feat that should be remembered, but it should not have this much celebration.
