A few important points about Cinco de Mayo, though: 1. Even though the Mexicans held off the French that day, they didnt win their war. About a year later, the French successfully occupied Mexico City. They didnt leave until the U.S. strongly pressured them to leave a few years later. 2. Its NOT Mexican Independence Day. Thats September 16th. 3. Its NOT a federal holiday in Mexico, but just a voluntary one. And it doesnt get huge celebrations in Mexico . . . in fact, they barely notice it. 4. Even though its virtually ignored in Mexico, outside of the country its evolved into a day of BROWN PRIDE. Which is why it gets huge celebrations in U.S. cities with large Latino populations. SO I REPEAT...WHY THE HELL ARE WE CELEBRATING THIS......DRINK UP...LOL
