It’s Cinco de Mayo – one of America’s favorite adopted holidays. But this year, liberals are trying to ruin it for those of us who love tacos, margs and queso. You see, we shouldn’t be appropriating someone else’s culture, especially if you support building President Trump’s border wall.
Jemele Hill, former ESPN sports reporter and current writer at The Atlantic has a message for you if you support the wall and partake in Cinco de Mayo today: nobody has any use for you.
Hill tweeted this out this morning, “Good morning to everyone except the people who support building a wall, and spend considerable time marginalizing brown people, but will drink 30 margaritas and wear a sombrero today. Nobody has any use for you.”

Oh, ok.
She then tweeted a link to an article explaining “The True Story of Cinco de Mayo.”
Along the same lines of my last tweet, here’s the real reason Cinco De Mayo is celebrated. Spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with margaritas, sombreros or fake mustaches https://t.co/7pHIOhaDvj

A lot of people agreed with her, but those who didn’t, make some excellent points.
That’s me ✋🏿 and I’m brown but realize that laws exist and they need to be enforced. It has nothing to do with marginalizing Brown people. That is an ignorant statement and I expect nothing less from a #FakeNews “journalist” btw good morning ☀️ https://t.co/j0RDUgGM5X

The wall is to prevent ILLEGAL immigration. While I don’t think the wall is an effective strategy, you and people like you condemning its supporters as racist, when they just want to prevent illegal immigration, is problematic https://t.co/zou9xT2qCV

“only way Mexicans get to America is illegally” is a tough hill to die on https://t.co/RH7nhHwNAU

Really craving tacos but worried it might be offensive if I eat them today

If you can find a single time when I have even whispered that I support building the wall, I’ll shave my head. #Ignorant #ResearchBeforeYouBesmirch https://t.co/XKIZstY7Q4
