We're here on 6th Street in downtown Austin, Texas on Cinco de Mayo to get people's take
|
|
on not only the holiday, but how many activists use it to create racial division and artificial
|
|
conflict in the nation.
|
|
So what's your take on Cinco de Mayo?
|
|
I think everybody ought to have Independence Day.
|
|
It's not a real Mexican holiday, so yeah.
|
|
It is.
|
|
It's when we defeated the French.
|
|
Oh, the French, yeah.
|
|
I'm like, it's when we defeated the French.
|
|
Of course it's a holiday.
|
|
That's why we celebrate it.
|
|
People think it's Independence Day, but it's not.
|
|
Independence Day is the 16th of September.
|
|
Second of May, it's everything.
|
|
It's good.
|
|
You know, it's really cool.
|
|
Beer.
|
|
So is that how you typically celebrate it?
|
|
Yeah, absolutely.
|
|
I like tacos and quesadillas.
|
|
So, you know what I mean?
|
|
I'm good like that.
|
|
It seems like every year on this holiday we hear reports from school students that are sent home for wearing American flags on Cinco de Mayo.
|
|
We also, today we saw people trying to ban American flags from being shown.
|
|
What's your take on that?
|
|
It seems like there's a big assault on free speech.
|
|
I don't think anybody should do that because you're in America.
|
|
I'm Mexican-American, so I celebrate both.
|
|
Fourth of July is actually one of my favorite holidays.
|
|
I don't know why they would.
|
|
What's the argument?
|
|
They're suggesting that it's racist.
|
|
We're in America, so you can wear an American flag shirt any day you like.
|
|
Some people have been taught wrong and raised wrong.
|
|
Raised to hate.
|
|
I believe hate should be outlawed.
|
|
Raised to hate people?
|
|
That should be outlawed.
|
|
Because if we all get along, this would be a better world.
|
|
If people want to nitpick that much, they're really bored.
|
|
So you think we should be able to show it on any day of the year?
|
|
American flag, that is?
|
|
I think you were put on this earth to do anything you want to.
|
|
And nobody should have to tell you anything that you don't want to do.
|
|
So if I feel like putting on an American flag, that's what I'm gonna do.
|
|
If anything, like, there should be... Okay, you know how people, like, say there should be, like, a world peace under one flag, right?
|
|
I say screw that.
|
|
If you want world peace, there should be no flag at all.
|
|
Screw it.
|
|
So you're saying it's kind of hypocritical then, correct?
|
|
For whatever reason, whoever is telling them they can't wear that, yeah, that's super hypocritical.
|
|
No one's gonna tell you to take off a Mexico flag shirt.
|
|
You can do whatever you want.
|
|
Most people think if I do it, it's okay.
|
|
If you do it, it's not okay if I don't like what you're doing.
|
|
I don't think you need to bring any racial comments or any racial things into this American.
|
|
What would you say to people who would suggest that it's racist to show an American flag on Cinco de Mayo?
|
|
Get a life.
