Let me explain why gringos celebrate the anniversary of a battle in Puebla, Mexico. Cinco de Mayo is just an excuse to drink beer, margaritas and tequila, enjoy mariachi music, get dressed up in sombreros and sarapes, and eat “Mexican” food (American-style, all covered in cheese and salsa.) it's a marketing strategy created by the beer companies targeting agriculture and construction workers. Cinco de mayo is similar to Tex-Mex food, it is NOT authentic Mexican. That’s it!
On the other hand, us, most Mexicans don't celebrate it unless one is from Puebla, and NO, it's not Mexican independence day.
