I love how quickly white people start crying when you say something as controversial as, “don’t use a holiday that is important to my culture to perpetuate negative stereotypes that will ultimately harm my culture” directly at them because we all knew they were already doing it.

The lengths you are so desperate to go to in order to make it sound like that statement shouldn’t be said are just ridiculous. White comfort is not as important as you all think it is. If you’re not a racist that’s being disrespectful, sit down. This isn’t about you. If you’re passing around an image of a white boy with a mustache, poncho, sombrero, and some tequila, then this is about you. If you’re hosting a “Cinco de Mayo” party without any actual Cinco de Mayo being part of your party– especially if it’s just an excuse to get excessively drunk and act like your racist idea of a Mexican, then this is about you. If you’re making money on Cinco de Mayo and you don’t even know what it’s about, this is about you.

What? We’ve got a racist pumpkin in the white house that wants to depict us all as lazy monsters that somehow manage to never work and suck off the government’s teet to fund our booze habits while also taking all of the jobs away from “Real Americans” and you thought we’d be alright sitting quietly in the back while people perpetuate the stereotypes that make a man like that possible on Cinco de Mayo of all days?
