Cinco De Mayo! can be freaking annoying imo
Whats your guys views on it? I respect peoples right to want to celebrate it, but when everyone around you is all for it, it can be annoying..
I walk into class this morning and i thought it was a fiesta lol, cumbia music playing and everyone saying ayee ayee ayeeee. Not appropriate for a computer aided drafting class imo.

Disrupting class seems ridiculous.

What I don't get is some ppl who get offended by it
"Oh we don't celebrate that in Mexico, it's bullshit" Mexico evicted the French (as far as I know). How terrible can that be? Have a few drinks if nothing else. Last edited by ronmcdon; 05-06-2010 at 01:35 AM.. |

ok for those who dont know Cinco de Mayo is not a major celebration in Mexico only in Puebla and some southern states. The whole battle was only a temporary victory cause a year later the French Defeated the Mexicans and invaded Mexico City. At most the people of Puebla only have a parade to comemerate those who partook in the battle but it isnt a major celebration. its only celebrated in the U.S. as another excuse to give 4 tacos for $1 or $5 beer buckets. LOL It became a celebration in the U.S. during th 60's when the chicano movement was taking place. I personally see it as a victory but not to the extent where ima throw a party. as for the kid who almost got suspended for wearing the american t shirt it was unfair i can see where the contraversy lies.

WTF?!
Mr. Macio has the right to wear whatever shirt he wants. Especially one with an American flag on it. Even on Cinco de Mayo. |

I feel like there may be more to the story.
Still seems silly though. Threatened for suspension because of their clothes....

yeah they probably had an attitude and where making remarks etc. Cant imagine someone being all innocent and doing what they are suppose to do in class being called out for their shirts.

i agree, there might be more that wasnt brought up. i think its kinda retarted that you would pick cinco de mayo to go all out patriotic IMO. your just drawing attention and i can see where it would be controversial. it would be the same as me and 4 other friends wearing mexican flag shirts, pants and bandanas on 4th of july. people will be like, "dude wtf ? on 4th of july ? it couldnt wait for another day ?" its just looking for trouble.

Still, a small victory is a victory nonetheless. I also see no fault with finding excuses to throw parties. Pray to tell where I can get 4 tacos for $1 & the cheao buckets Even in TJ many years ago I could only get 3 for a dollar. Taco stands/trucks aren't as affordable as they once were. |

Maybe he goes to school to learn (instead of going to deal with people partying in class). Just a guess.....

So, wait. First St. Patrick's day isn't a day to drink cheap Guinness Then Mardi Gras isn't about the Beads and Boobs Now you're telling me Cinco De Mayo isn't Mexican Independence Day? I hope their are drink specials on September 16th...

i live in downtown san jose, and that shit seriously gets annoying. whole streets getting blocked off and people waving around huge ass mexican flags out of their cars. I'm not going to wave a huge ass Japanese flag on December 7th, so yeah, its all hype - an excuse to party i guess. im just glad it only happens once a year.
