I don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo since the Mexican Army beating the French Army is considered only meeting minimum requirements.

I consider it similar to St. Patricks day, an excuse Americans made up to drink beer and have guacamole.

I expect to be called a racist for asking this question but I think that it's a reasonable question.

What do you think of the celebrations in the town squares for Dyngus Day, Tartan Day, St Patrick's Day?

Is there a reason why no comments are ever made about those?

I have no Mexican heritage but am from California and love, love Mexican food and the wonderful Mexican friends I had there. The food is totally different from what you find on this coast. I cook Mexican food all the time., and so do my sons. I love Cinco de Mayo as it is a reason to celebrate a great culture. I fixed Shredded chicken enchiladas for a neighborhood party and sadly nothing was left, but I tamed it down for older tummies. Thankfully I have more shredded chicken left. I had a HUGE bowl I made yesterday and let it sit a day to blend flavor. Sad what has happened to a great country I enjoyed. Drugs and gangs. Let it not happen here!
