Cinco de Mayo: More Than Margaritas

Did you know Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day? It actually marks a wild underdog win over the French in 1862! In the U.S., it’s become a full-on fiesta with tacos, tequila, and parades, but some say it’s lost its roots to commercialization and stereotypes. Meanwhile, the political side of things gets spicy—some celebrate Mexican culture one day, then push anti-immigrant rhetoric the next. Food for thought next time you’re at a Cinco party! #CincoDeMayo #Culture #History #LatinoHeritage #FoodForThought
