When non-Mexican folks make Cinco de Mayo like St.Patrick's Day, [[ As in Going into bars and drink until their hangovers) not only they took the Mexican heritage away but also making a it a corporate media sponsored event.


You could say the same thing about Christmas. Should non-Mexicans get upset when Mexicans celebrate Christmas? Fact is, we desperately need holidays in the US, so we take whatever we can get, and commercializing stuff is just in our DNA.

I think all holidays should be as inclusive as possible. I'm glad Mexicans were able to assert their independence and preserve their local culture. It's horrific what happened to the Native Americans in the US territories, and I'd like to hope we can move towards a more inclusive future.
