As a Mexican I can say that cinco de mayo is just a marketing holiday similar to saint Patrick’s day and capitalism has ruined any significance behind the actual batalla de Puebla… ooooh, did you just say you have a colorful donkey tequila on sale? Count me in 🤠
In Brazil we have Dia dos Namorados (Lovers’ Day) on June 12 instead of Valentine’s Day on February 14 because of a marketing campaign to sell gifts in part of the year that sales were weak. The idea was to create a holiday where lovers would exchange gifts. “You can’t prove love just by kissing!” said their slogan
Funny but actually Mexicans don’t give a fuck about cinco de mayo
Some do, mostly as another party day. Not necessarily for it’s significance.

Like any other holiday ever.

Ha St Patrick’s Day isn’t a marketing holiday. It’s a huge day in Ireland, where up to a million people go to see the parade in town.
And outside of Ireland?
It’s mostly because we’re taking a hint from the gringos and see a good marketing opportunity for an excuse to party.
All the Mexican American places in my area is taking full advantage with deals. Even the Irish pub near by is doing a shamrock taco. It’s big here.
they’re just joining in on Americans thinking that it’s a big deal to boost sales but it’s not a significant holiday
it’s white “Mexican holiday” day… not even reflecting of anything legit in mexico. more appropriation for $$$
Only the state of Puebla, and they only give a little fuck.
Probably because of them being exhausted from celebrating cinco de quatro
