Quote:Cinco de Mayo? Isn't that the day where we all get smashed on Dos Equis, Tecate and Corona (only Dos Equis for me, thanks)? Is there an actual purpose for that holiday?

 

Only Americans pretty much.  I can tell you that the Mexican-Americans that supposedly might get offended by the U.S. flag don't even celebrate the holiday, and it has no special meaning.

 

Here is another thought.  What is a Mexican-American?  Do people that are (PC) labeled as such identify themselves like that?  What about "African-American"?  Can a white person identify themselves as such?  What is the definition?
