  1. Let’s be honest. Cinco de Mayo is mostly celebrated by beverage companies. The big national holidays in Mexico are Independence Day and saint day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

  2. Thank you for this interesting bocadito of history. If I may offer something in return, the past tense of beat is beat, not beatED. Just another one of those crazy irregular verbs in English. 😝 Espero que haya ayudadote.

  3. Good luck! It’s not straightforward at all, especially the Revolution. There’s layers under layers underneath the history that school children learn.

  4.  @xm377Moyocoyatzin  While you have a point about using Mexican sources, what makes you think those sources aren’t “woke”? What is “woke”? It’s a weaponized word you use to attack anyone who questions the use of race, identity, or class as weapons, something that has been going on since before the nation’s inception. To even bring them up is to give away the game. To investigate how race-based policies formed the nation is an anathema to those who benefit, hope to benefit, or enjoy feeling victimized by equality. I’m a conservative, but one of my conservative principles is an adherence to the facts. Objecting to pronouns and the use of -x is just a strategy to avoid looking at the facts. Maybe it’s younger generation nonsense, maybe it’s not. To me the pronoun business is a non-controversy. If someone wishes to identify themselves using a certain pronoun or suffix, it doesn’t take much effort to be courteous and respectful. I might make mistakes, so what?
