Today is the fifth of May, year 2014. Today marks an important historical battle that took place in the Mexican state of Puebla. Now, I have an issue and I found this issue when I read the journal topic today.
Background Info:
Apart from Wkipedia's Cinco de Mayo description, Mexico celebrates it as if it were a Veteran's Day in November. There is no drinking and it is very well respected throughout. Here in the United States however, it has stirred up some controversy because sometimes people can be racially active. I remember a few years ago, college students dressed up as pregnant Latina females and guys dressed up as blue collar workers to say the least. Even the beer companies have started to open its advertising doors toward this holiday so people can get drunk.
On another note, I am happy that my country is looking toward other cultures, not just pushing them aside like a deck of cards. This country should be a melting pot alot more richer than when the colonists first arrived. Final words: respect the holiday as if it were you're very own historical event and don't abuse it please. I am being as most sincere and heart felt as I can be. Thank you.
