How do MEXICANS celebrate CINCO DE MAYO? 

Jay Mo It was Napoleon III and he later abandoned Emperor Maximilian who was shot by firing squad in Queretaro. Maximilian could have escaped earlier on but did not.

@@patrickorourke7859 why

Alas, the partiers are mostly not Mexicans. The Mexican restaurants celebrate for their customers to make money. In fact, we (Mexas) rarely go to Mexican restaurants. The food is insipid and we don't like it.

@@lucio.martinez aren't good Mexican restaurants over there?

@@LaKarencitaMX No. Not in Florida. You get good Mexican food in Texas and Califas---that's it. Maybe Chicago, but I've not been there.

Yeah, I've read about it. The Confederates also wanted to take part of México's northern territory.

Actually ! It's New Year's Day * a lil bit of truth to end all the idealism of false tradition or culture shock

Thanks for watching the video. It's interesting to see that Cinco de Mayo is something that schools also celebrate.

Jajaja teachers forced you to dance at 5 of may, it would have been humiliating.

Man, no freedom back then? Hahaha (j/k). No es fácil la vida de un mexicano en Mexilandia.

And most of them hate Mexicans, figure it out.

Es que en Florida no ay tanto Mexicanos, la mayoria es puro Cubanos, pero vamos llegando.

Entonces quienes lo celebran son los pochos y los gringos?

@@maggiearaiza5761 Cierto. Yo viví en Palm Beach de chavito y tengo mucha familia allí y en Texas. En 1990, nos mudamos a la area de Tampa, y acá hay menos mexicanos y es más diverso de latinos.

@@gustavoperez5480 Ni los mexas, ni pochos, ni chicanos- lo celebramos. Son los güeros/negros, no latinos.

@@lucio.martinez Bueno aqui en Chicago los Mexicanos ya tenemos muchos año Celebramos el Cinco De Mayo Y 16 La independencia De Mexico el Barrio con mas Mexicanos como La Pilsen, Little Village/La Villita, El Barrio de Las Emoacadoras/Back Of The Yards, barrio Cicero, Osea el Sur De Chicago donde ay mas Mexicanos que cual quier barrio de Chicago. Aqui en mi barrio La Pilsen asemos festejandi el Festival que se llama Mole De Mayo para celebrar el Cinco De Mayo, se junto mucha gente de todas las naciones. Aqui en Chicago ay mas latinos bueno mas Mexicanos.

Nah, your kidding.

Jajajajajaja ajá sí claro

Thank you for the details. I think the same way about Maximiliano. I didn't know that soldiers in red pants were the best in the army of France.

Same with St Paddy's day. The Yanks would throw a party over a fart if they could.

Gracias por enseñarles a los estadounidenses a poder comunicarse mejor

Did you know? We, Mexican-Americans, appreciate and love it when non-Mex-Americans, speak Spanish.

How did you like Querétaro and San Miguel? I hope you enjoyed it. And yes, I would be very happy to meet you in one of my courses 🙂

@@LaKarencitaMX We stayed 3 days in QRO and 3 Days in SMA and loved every minute. Our stay at the Apapacho Hotel in Guadiana (SMA) was amazing. On their rooftop bar we could see La Parroquia while having breakfast and we watched fireworks every night with a glass of wine. The parks were quiet, clean and the people were the best part, everyone was so friendly. We had a tour guide show us both cities on different days so we can see all the neighborhoods and real estate. QRO had the best night entertainment at the Plaza. It was such a pleasure to see how family oriented everyone is. The people in the plaza were generational and together; grandparents with their kids and their grandchildren, everywhere. It was refreshing and amazing. Here in California, most kids don’t want to be seen with their parents in public, especially where there is gatherings and entertainment. My wife and I felt so safe, the entire trip day or night. We could definitely call Mexico our retirement home in the near future, but it probably won’t be in these cities. I will have my 81 year old mom living with us and she wants her last years to be a coastal area (what mama wants, mama gets :)). So, on our next trip, we will be searching for a place that will suit her and my Great Dane (5 yr old dog). We are open to suggestions.

What a stupid people at USA, isn't it?

Thank you very much

Wow. I bet it must fun. I like parties and celebrations. Some foreigners told me it's inevitable weird to see that there's no celebrations now that they're in Mexico even though they know why. I understand

I expected you won't get disappointed once you come to México because we don't celebrate that date.

I need a Sombrero like this lol

Amor? (Love)

You are mexican-american, right?

Haha thanks

BTW, I’m aware that there are much more important days on the Mexican calendar, but we like to have fun.

Fajitas is not Mexican is Tex mex

Fajitas is not a Mexican dish, is American. Do you like to troll mexicans with this, isn't?

@@gustavoperez5480 I don’t know how you think I’m trolling you. Fajitas did come from Texas, and they were made popular by the Mexican community there. How is that bad?

Yes. They do a huge parade in Puebla and that's it

Yep. Chicanos here in Cali, some of my family included, love to rub the "Hey I'm Mexican" in your face. They take it too far. Real Mexicans living in Mexico are completely different.

As an Irish person whose blood pressure skyrockets on St. Patrick's Day, I think I can understand a little of how you feel. (You know what's a popular drink in Galway on St. Patrick's Day? Milkshakes. Try telling that to people ordering an "Irish Car Bomb" to get drunk on, here in the US)

I always assure people it isn't. 😂
