A lot of people think Cinco de Mayo is Mexican independence day, but it is NOT. Don& #39;t be ignorant. This day pays tribute to the victory of the outnumbered Mexican army over the French army at the 1862 Battle of Puebla during the Second Franco-Mexican War.
Mexico celebrates independence day on September 16th. Cinco de Mayo may be a day for most americans to drink tequila and eat tacos, but this day in many parts of Mexico is considered a work day. Also not every state in Mexico celebrates Cinco de Mayo.
I think it& #39;s important to say do not use today to dress up or further any racist stereotypes about Mexicans. If you want to get wasted on a Wednesday with your friends then fine, but that is not what today is about.
Today is a day to celebrate what many thought was an infeasible victory. I may also add drink responsibly and make today great!
Also I hope this sheds light on more vegans of color. It is possible to enjoy your favorite cultural dishes as a vegan. Okay, now I am done. Be blessed!
