I actually don't mind St. Patrick's Day, but celebrating Cinco De Mayo in the United States is just stupid in my opinion...there's not one redeemable quality about anything south of the border. Even the food sucks! It took America to perfect their own damn cuisine for goodness sake! There's not one place in Mexico that would be worth going to or trusting your life to if it hadn't been for American dollars. It's actually one of the places American influence has made better over the years, but that's because it couldn't get any worse.
The Mexicans would have a rather more negative view of our influence on them. We took half their country and our guns fuel their cartel war. As Porfirio Diaz, then dictator, said long ago: "Poor Mexico. So far from God. So close to the United States."
But given that their population was about the most anti-Trump during his presidency of any on earth they should be viewed as an enemy people. Well, that and they invaded us. That is a sore spot.
St. Patrick's Day doesn't irk me nearly as much. But the Irish in America were also essentially an invasive force. They took over Boston and then Mayor Curley vented his spleen against the WASPs. We should be glad moving Irish Catholics into Puritan country didn't create another Northern Ireland.
Another funny is to wear orange on St. Patrick's Day.
