Sure we do it was a big party at the Okay Corral NightClub last night!!

Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo more than Columbus Day.

Non-Hispanic Americans don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo for what it actually means. They would have no reason to. It's about Mexico not the U.S. It's merely an excuse to party with cultural fare.

That's ridiculous. If anything is should be called "Discovery of the New World Day".

Well I do know that something like 20 Italians were lynched in New Orleans back in the 1890s.

I used to be really against Columbus Day, not only because of the fact that natives were here before him, but because the Vikings were as well, and who even knows who else. But I've kind of relaxed since it is a detrimental part of our history. I'm still not thrilled at what happened to our native populations in centuries afterward, but it is a part of our history.
