Why do stupid Americunts celebrate cinco de mayo?

[DukeNukem]

Don't Americunts realize that most Mexicunts really don't give a shit about cinco de mayo?

Or that "cinco de mayo" simply means "the fifth of May" in Spanish?

Or that months and days are not capitalized in Spanish?

Or that this so-called "cinco de mayo" is the most stupid and pointless holiday invented? What do you do on cinco de mayo? DRINK MOAR BEER!!! Come on, if I was a drinker, I could do that any day!

So down with the Americunt that declared "cinco de mayo" a national holiday! Probably a small wank from a beer company. I'd rather celebrate Hannukah, and I am not even Jewish!

It gives us an excuse to eat Mexican food AND drink beer.

No one is expecting a gift, a card expressing your undying love, you don't have to dress up, and the relatives aren't beating on your door and staying for a week.

What more can you want from a holiday?

I don't celebrate cinco de mayo.

Uh... prostitutes presents?

Because our country is being overrun by Mexicans?  I don't need a reason to drink.  Corona advertises as being the official "beer" of Cinco de mayo, but I don't drink Corona, I drink beer, let the Mexicans drink that pisswater if they enjoy it so much.

My city celebrates it. They do this fair in downtown in the park and they have fairground rides.

Non-Mexican Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo for the same reason non-Irish Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

It's an excuse to !

Here's a case that's making national headlines, 5 students in a school in California were threatened with suspension for wearing clothing bearing the American flag on Cinco de Mayo.  The principal said that it was offensive to Mexican-American students and that it could cause a confrontation.  What the fuck is wrong with the world where a person can't show pride in their country while in their own country because people from another country get offended?  This is fucking ridiculous.

Say what you will about Americans celebrating the day, but to say that those who aren't celebrating the day should not be allowed to show pride in their country is just fucked up in every way.  I really hope the ACLU gets involved in this.

Morgan Hill students sent home over clothing

(AP) – 9 hours ago

MORGAN HILL, Calif. — The parents of several San Francisco Bay-area high school students who were sent home after showing up in clothing with American flags on Cinco de Mayo are blasting the school's decision.

An assistant principal at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill told the group of boys Wednesday to take off bandanas and shirts bearing American flags or turn the shirts inside out, according to some of the boys. At least one of the boys was also wearing shorts with the U.S. flag.

"They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli, one of the boys, told San Jose's KNTV. "But today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday, so we were not allowed to wear it today."

The boys say they were told the clothing was offending some Hispanic students and could spark fights.

They were given the choice to leave or face suspension, they said.

E-mails and phone messages left Thursday for school and district officials were not returned. But in a statement, the district called the incident "extremely unfortunate" and said it was investigating.

"While campus safety is our primary concern and administrators made decisions yesterday in an attempt to ensure campus safety, students should not and will not be disciplined for wearing patriotic clothing," the statement read.

The boys said they had no intention of sparking conflict. At least two of them said they are part Hispanic.

Julie Fagerstrom, mother of one of the boys, said they were just being patriotic and displaying their individuality.

The boys have since met with a district official and been allowed to return to school and continue wearing the clothing.

But some students at the school objected.

"I think they should apologize 'cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day," Annicia Nunez told KNTV. "We don't deserve to get disrespected like that. We wouldn't do that on Fourth of July."

Nothin I guess. :lol:

We celebrate the end of WWII for the Netherlands on the fifth of may.

That's the day the negotiations in 1945 to end German occupation started properly in 1945.

Never heard of cinco de mayo before joining I2.

So much knowledge can be found here.
