The American flag can get you in trouble on cinco de mayo!!

[Nick]

Meh, this is probably just a sensationalized over-hyped story. But who knows what exactly was going on, maybe the kids wearing the flag stuff were taunting the mexican kids orsomething, I wouldn't put it past high school kids to do that. But if they really were just sitting there, then yeah, the school overreacted. But why not just avoid a scene and do what the principal told you to do?

What i find funny is that I have so far asked 6 Hispanic contractors what cinco de mayo is and they said "It's like messican independence day, man." They didn't understand why I was laughing at them.

Then why celebrate it in the US? If a bunch of Americans disliked the USA so much as to leave America and live in, lets say England, should they; first, have the right to celebrate 4th of July? Second, be offended when a couple brits wear the Union Jack on the 4th of July?

Why celebrate the independence of a country you dislike enough to leave? Why be offended when others actually display their love for the country you love so much you left your own country to live there?

00i00 Eff that!

I lived out in that area for a few years and it's insane how far out of peoples way they will go to NOT offend ANYONE, it was like another dimension....they weren't a fan of my "Boston Attitude"

You make a good point, but I think you missed the reason why that dude was laughing. Cinco de Mayo isn't Mexican Independance day.

This is where I have to laugh a bit at the whole situation.

What that mexican said wasn't wrong, it's LIKE the Mexican Independence day, not is exactly. It is the most patriotic celebration in mexico, LIKE Independence day in America. I am being a nit-pick, but the word 'LIKE' can be used a bunch. The Mexicans won a decisive battle over the French and they celebrate it.

It is celebrated here because of our large Mexican population. America is the ONLY country on this planet where people are [foreign country] -Americans, IE Italian Americans, African Americans and so on, if any US citizen went to another country we would simply be Americans, or Whites, doesn't matter. I, for one, do not agree with this type of vocal segregation but people do it mainly because 99% of the population that lives here has family that came over on a boat at one point in time.

Anyway, what happened in that article was pretty fucking substantially stupid, but that is what people do, sadly and that isn't the purpose of this post. Those mexicans sitting on the sidewalk know just about as much as their home countries history as some of the citizens of this country know about ours. There are students currently enrolled in highschools around the country that firmly believe that Christopher Columbus is still alive and that Slavery ended in the 1950s. At least they knew it was LIKE the mexican independence day.
