I never claimed Cinco de Mayo is a contrived holiday, nor did I claim its an insult to Mexicans or Mexican Americans.
I just corrected Danny, who claimed it had something to do with Mexican Independence [[it doesn't) and that it's celebrated in Mexico [[it isn't).
I'm sure many Mexican Americans in the U.S. celebrate Cinco de Mayo. That's super. My point is that it isn't a Mexican celebration. They're celebrating because they're Americans in the U.S. celebrating a fun day for all.
