So long story short....
Mexico owes France a ton of money and refuses to pay it...
France responds with military force for a one day battle and loses (which is hard to believe I know)...
That battle took place on May 5th...
So Cinco De Mayo is about the Mexican Government refusing to pay its bills...
Do any of the so called Mexican Americans know this? Probably not. It happened in Mexico and not in the US. I would also say it is something hardly worth celebrating.
I thought it celebrated one of the times Mexico gained its freedom. I was under the impression it was at least more important than giving the repo man the finger. Either way, if Mexico is so wonderful, move there. Nothing wrong recognizing the culture you hail from, but you do that by ordering a #7 at your favorite carnicaria every year, not spitting in the face of the country you live in.
Take Oktoberfest for example. People wear German attire and drink German beer, but they aren't going around flying the German flag and acting like dick bags.

This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BITCH!
If you don't like where you're at, GO THE FUCK HOME!
I have no problem with people of Mexican descent wanting to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Cool, that's the beauty of America......
However, this is the United States. To send those students home for wearing the flag of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is an outrage!!!!!
If some people of Mexican descent want to display a Mexican flag on their property/person, fine, but DON'T EVEN TRY TO TELL ME/MY KIDS WE CAN'T DISPLAY AN AMERICAN FLAG!!!!! FUCK THEM!!!!!!!
The actions of the school border on treason. The administration should be held criminally responsible for this.
This borders right on the boundary of what would justify American citizens to take up arms and repel foreign invaders.
I'm sick of this politically correct bullshit!
I agree with everything said.
I'll add a grand "Fuck you, go the fuck home and quit your bitching" though.
Well Said! Everybody be sure to Forward this story to all on your e-mail list, and if you get a chance Contact the school district. I haven't been real vocal in the past, with this type of stuff, but this has gotten absolutely ridiculous, and it HAS to stop.Quote:
