"In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has been relegated to the status of a minor holiday, far less important than the national celebration of Independence on September 16."
"One of the leading promoters -- and beneficiaries -- of Cinco de Mayo has been Grupo Modelo, makers of Corona Beer."

The Mexicans (born and raised in Mexico, not the USA) I know do not celebrate it as it means nothing to them.
