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.


I think the original poster was asking about a video he put up showing racism between some mexican kids and white kids.

But anyway I agree. It seems like more of a holiday we celebrate just to celebrate. Like St. Patty's day... I don't even know what it's really about.. guess I'll go Gewgle it.

Cinco de Mayo is the celebration chosen by the Chicanos to represent themselves in America. It's not the event that really matters it's just a statement about their individuality.

It was underdone, if you ask me.
Nobody talked about anything at my school about it, neither did my parents.
Never heard it on the news.
And frankly, i don't care.

Only good holidays are the ones with no school, christmas, thanksgiving easter etc.

The guy on the left looks like the dude from DieHard who tries to make a deal with Hanz after snorting a line and gets his butt handed to him.

Just saying

Not at all, the purpose of Cinco De Mayo was for American Mexicans to establish some of t- ah my old comment sums it up.
