FYI... What is Cinco de Mayo?

86. Reprobates huh?

What a filthy thing to say about your deprived countrymen. Poverty does not equal "reprobates".

Are you really denying my post that "much of Mexico doesn't celebrate Cinco de Mayo"? Are you really denying nearly every description of Cinco de Mayo found from Wiki to University web sites?

And nobody said it wasn't/isn't a significant historical event in Mexico or to Mexicans. You have taken a very simple, truthful post and attributed all kinds of falsehoods to it shamelessly. Either this was intentional, or your massive educational superiority is truly worthless as you don't have reading comprehension skills.

How about you post something, anything, from some source which describes Cinco de Mayo as a holiday celebrated throughout the country of Mexico, by the overwhelming majority of Mexicans? Or are your 'truths' posted in the OP A-OK, but other truths better left unsaid and further denied? I would think someone like you who claims to be a scholarly historian wouldn't want to participate in revisionism..

Have a good day.
