Halloween

So why is it that we NOTB's must deal with Cinco de Mayo and other Mexican festivities that are not a part of our culture. Once again it sounds like the white man must bow to others so as not to upset anyone. But you know, we've accepted it and I say get over it and accept it. There is money to be made by all. The world is growing and I'm sure a lot of Mexican families NOTB are sending their kids out to Trick or Treat just like NOTB kids want to break pinatas for the birthdays. It could be in a good sense, What goes around, Comes around. Can't we all just have fun?

You appear unaware that Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the USA as another mass marketing ploy just like St. Patrick's Day. It is not celebrated in Mexico in any manner remotely similar to the USA where it is simply another excuse to mostly sell a lot of booze. Mexico didn't export that "celebration" at all, and it is surprising to Mexicans to see that the USA treats it as some kind of party celebration.

Money to be made? Most of the worthwhile things in life are NOT money. Día de Muertos is a solemn event, not an Irish wake.
