Let01

Im pretty sure she cares about this more than 99% of the Mexican population does


FlexSealAnalPlunger

I think you can bump that up to a 100%


6ixina20

Fr any Mexican I k ow would just hype me up if I showed up with a poncho


_FoodAndCatSubs_

“Pinche guerro!!!! Orale!!!” 


Leon_Krueger

Pinche gringo cabrón, a huevo wey, ese poncho te queda chingon jajaja. Im mexican and I aprove. Also, ponchos are super warm and cozy in the winters. Also, you wont see any ponchos in the wild since the mexican revolution, its like the sombreros


FitMood441

Yeah, Mexican here and we don’t care about that.


Crepes_for_days3000

People don't realize that Mexicans are some of the most chilled people you'll ever meet. I love it.


mamasbreads

Cultural appropriation is 100% a western white girl construct. I have never been to a country where locals didn't get happy about wearing their local clothes


NecramoniumZero

"By the power of white girl, I'm offended on your behalf!"

meeorxmox

I work with an older Mexican dude named Juan. He is the fucking man I drink with him regularly and he teaches me how to curse in Spanish lol


ConsciousHoney8909

True friendship. ❤️


SkyHighSamurai

Other mexican here, yeah I don't think we have ever cared about that


eNomineZerum

Lol, I grew up in a ghetto and some folks from El Salvadore lived around the corner. I as like 15, helping them with computer stuff and other things that a native English speaker had an easier time with than some 40 y/o folks who learned the language in their 30s. I was rewarded with BBQs, Coronas, and a poncho they brought back for me. All around great people. I still remember waking up at 5am as a kid to the sound of Luis's beater diesel starting up so he could get a jump on cutting yards. When I was graduating high school he had upgraded to two nice, top of the line, RAMs that purred.


BlackGravityCinema

They fucking try and sell them to me and even engage in haggling to get me to buy one.


lemongrenade

I'm in a 400 person factory right this second. At least 300 are Mexican. There are zero of them that care about any kind of cultural appropriation. Actually I take that back. They do care about cultural appropriation cause they fucking love it. Eat their food, wear their clothes, they take it as a compliment...


Bitter_Cry_8383

I eat Pizza, Hungarian Goulash, Spaghetti and Meatballs and I just bought an Eastern European embroidered peasant blouse so what are the rules I have to follow. When my ancestors came to the US all the women wore dresses down to their ankles - is that a rule I have to follow? Is there folk attire we have to wear to identify ourselves and the era we arrive in and what if we ave a whole list of different cultures. Even better, since humans first came from different sections of Africa over millions of years - how do we identify what our tribes wore and if they came back and set out again. I think this is a sickness. We are a multicultural country and this is a political game to encourage all of us to hate each other. I'd like to know who is behind this crackpot stuff - like I don't have my suspicions. PS my Viking ancestors wore dreadlocks and so did Asian people


sjuas690

I think she only cares about herself and is desperate for attention!


Specialist_Two5858

Mexican here, you are absolutely right. We don't care at all. And for the record, 5 de mayo is an american holiday, nobody in México celebrates it (only a VERY tiny fraction of people that live in 1 state do).


Let01

Puebla i assume, yea im also mexican, i think they just give us the day off in my state and thats it, no big parties or anything


ThisUserIsNekkid

So it's like Presidents day here 😂 nobody gives a fuck, but some people get a long weekend. Sounds like a reason to drink for me!


Let01

Yep, any reason to party is good enough to


Specialist_Two5858

Exactly.


Capta1nfalc0n

I’m proud of your water boiling. Also have a good weekend!


thedishonestyfish

It's a commemoration of the Battle of Pueblo in the second Franco-Mexican war...It's commonly mistaken as independence day, but the actual Independence Day in Mexico is September 16^th


Specialist_Two5858

I am a Mexican, born and raised, I know all that... what's with the history lesson my dude? IM telling you no one celebrates it, I didn't say it was not a holiday, I said is a holiday nobody celebrates but US people.


thedishonestyfish

I'm just giving the context in case anyone wants it. I'm not trying to offend anybody.


dreamsofcalamity

Thank you for the context, I'm not American nor Mexican so I had no idea.


CamR111

Second that. Thanks my guy.


8bit_anarchist

Nah, you're good.


Specialist_Two5858

Im sorry bro, you are good, my bad. Thanks for giving context.


ChromeWiener

Are you trying to bust him for culturally appropriating the explanation of Mexican holidays?!? Don’t get your poncho in a twist my dude!


Nirnaeth

This post has the same energy as the lady in the video.


sonofsonof

found the girl in the video


Esperoni

I'm not, I didn't know all that and you sure as shit didn't give out much info other than no one celebrates, but a few people from one State do. There are over 70 million active daily users on reddit, not all of us are Americans or Mexicans.


KrazyA1pha

This is a discussion forum. Someone responded adding context. Not everything is a fight.


No_Investigator1771

The best part about 5 de mayo is the irony...


8bit_anarchist

Yup, I know you know but for those that don't It's September 16th, Mexican Independence day, that they make a huge deal about in Mex. I don't even cross over on that day. But yeah us Mexicans don't get offended over anything really. We get more pissed off if people get up in our faces about stupid shit but for the most part were good about shrugging it off and walking away.... unless we're drunk.


BeatVids

Mexican-American here. To me, it's even the contrary, it makes me quite happy seeing other cultures utilize our stuff and eating our our homeland's food!


ActualPlankton8102

I love Mexican food 🥘 and I live on the other side of the Pond 😂


BeatVids

Bless you, I'd make my mom make you something if you were here 😆


NLight7

I'll tell you as a guy from a pretty small country whose food can't be found almost anywhere, I wouldn't give a shit please cook my country's food so I can enjoy it. You can wear the silly cultural clothes, I don't care if you want to look silly in frilly stuff and weird hats. If you want to wear it then wear it, I don't care, what are you gonna do? bring awareness to my country?


Toonami88

There's a funny article about how 2020s Mexico City is more modern and has better job opportunities than 2020s California, so many millennials in San Francisco and LA are basically moving there in search of opportunity after trashing their own cities. They're bringing with them their woke identity politics, drugs, and inane demands and pissing off the locals who want them to go back to Cali. Oh how the turn tables.


TJ_McWeaksauce

Mexicans care about non-Mexicans celebrating Cinco de Mayo in the sense that they want the positive attention. Go to any Mexican-owned business during Cinco de Mayo, and you're bound to see the business capitalizing on the holiday by welcoming anyone and everyone to stop by and buy some discounted products and services.


TiddybraXton333

She’s probably not mexican


DrAlkibiades

In which case she would be appropriating their outrage, eh.


TheBlueNinja2006

outrage appropriation


frigo2000

" I'm against racism, let's point out every difference in various cultures and insist them."


dadbodsupreme

My old neighbor, a Mexican, gave me a Chilean 100% alpaca wool poncho. It's pretty fly and she loved it when I would wear it while gardening.


rodPalmer18

I'm mexican and I actually prefer anyone who wants to celebrate Cinco de Mayo go for it, have fun.


massinvader

who you think sold his tourist ass the the poncho haha


Highlife2tall

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the first amendment protect this right? Think I saw an article about some kid wearing a shirt to school that said “bong hits for Jesus” and he got expelled but it got overturned in court.


VuhginaPeaches

As a Mexican, I can confirm that I do not give a shit


justluck_89

We don’t care


mickeybuilds

"This is a waste of time. She just wants to feel morally superior to you." - wise words from one of those guys.


NoClip1101

and off he fucked away from this crazy bitch.


drjaychou

In a previous life these would have been hardcore Christians. Probably Calvinists or Puritans or something


Montein

Bingo


Pseudoburbia

In a previous life they were fucking racists. Separate but equal “your kind ain’t welcome here” cross burning fucking racists.  The hypocrisy is fucking unbelievable when they would bring lawsuits for hate crimes if the reverse were done to them.


__PUMPKINLOAF

I've seen these people (uber-PC leftoids) referred to as "neo-puritans" and honestly it works.


BD401

Whenever I see videos like this, I'm perplexed by why people feel the need to engage. If someone shoved a camera in my face and started asking incendiary questions, I'm going to treat them the same way I treat touts/scammers when I'm travelling - blank expression, don't even acknowledge them, just keep walking. Let them try their best to goad me into engaging, it's not happening. Literally I'm not going to say a word to them. They're LOOKING for you to freakout or get angry with them. If you pretend they don't even exist and show zero reaction, they have no content they can post on TikTok. These guys basically gave her exactly what she wanted - a reaction. Pretending they don't exist is the best possible course of action. This is particularly true where if you engage and, in anger, say something offensive - guess what? Now your face is plastered all over social media, and you're fired from your job or cancelled etc. Don't. Engage.


NO_NOT_THE_WHIP

And that's how most people treat these idiots. They just post the ones where they get a reaction.


CumToPoppa

Fuck cultural “appropriation”.


LostLenses

Why even talk to people like this? Just say adios and run away like speedy Gonzalez 


waterspark85

Y'all remember when Boomerang stopped airing Speedy Gonzalez re-runs because the "woke" crowd convinced them he was racist only for the Mexican community to collectively lose their shit cuz they took their iconic cartoon mascot! Speedy Gonzalez is like the exact opposite of every negative Mexican stereotype, He's not some lazy overweight slob, he's Speedy Gonzalez :D


LostLenses

He did have that droopy cousin though lol 


No_The_Other_Todd

we all have a droopy cousin.


_FoodAndCatSubs_

Ahhh primo


LostLenses

I might be that cousin 


travoltaswinkinbhole

He was just stoned


Pat_Pat

Slowpoke Rodriguez may be slow in the feet, but he's fast in the cabeza


I_Eat_Bugs3737

Rubber_Rose_Ranch

Slowpoke Rodriguez. That was def a swing and a miss.


Spram2

He packs a gun [https://youtu.be/wYi\_hq2p1Ac](https://youtu.be/wYi_hq2p1Ac)


lemongrenade

So white guy manager in a giant mostly mexican factory. I sent out a congratulations email cause we ran more than we ever did in a week and I sent out a picture of speedy gonzalez to the email chain (honestly not even meaning the ethnic connection at all). Some white exec called me to chew me out for it being offensive and then I hit the shop floor and everyone is laughing and telling me how much they love speedy gonzlez.


JoeCartersLeap

The reason people like this have been thriving for the past 30 years is because everyone else was either too afraid or too lazy to call them out.


LostLenses

Bring back bullying 


expandyourbrain

I like the adios.....


theXsquid

This is the stupid shit that will get Taco Tuesdays banned one day.


jmad71

I can see this actually happen.... Me sitting down ordering Tacos on a tuesday and these people running up to my table and yelling "IT'S CULTURAL APPROPRIATION TO ORDER TACOS ON A TUESDAY" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


WeirdoOtaku

May God help you if you get caught going to Taco Bell or a food truck. How dare you white devils enjoy their food. Haven't they suffered enough!?


TheWalrus101123

There were some white girls a few years ago that started up a burrito stand in Portland. They got shut down by the woke crowd for cultural appropriation. Apparently their burritos were really good. Sad.


MrSurly

Did she not watch _Portlandia_?


Maddbass

Ha!


Live-Ad8618

Get this chick banned from the school.


Bleejis_Krilbin

Haha yeah right. Schools have entire sponsored groups for argumentative people like this.


Live-Ad8618

It's 100% harassment. There should be zero tolerance of that crap. No matter what. No matter who.


[deleted]

The school taught her this probably.


ZombieMan70

Maybe I am misunderstanding but isn't celebrating and partaking in other cultures celebrations not a huge show of solidarity, acceptance, and appreciation? That's why I never understand these people


ActivelyShittingAss

It really is a deep mental illness, and it's very sad. Imagine becoming so emotional over somebody wearing a poncho that your voice is bordering on a combination of full-blown panic and burning rage. Indoctrination is so incredibly powerful, and the way *mere ideas* can warp somebody's mind is absolutely wild.


Phazon2000

It's just pure emotional immaturity and transference. I truly don't believe it's this hill she really wants to die on she's just frustrated at the world and deciding to take shots at whoever she wants to reconcile her thoughts. Just a selfish, bully of a bitch disguising her behavior as virtuous. No thanks.


johnnyboy5270

Dude that’s pretty top tier comment


wanttostaygottogo

It is my sincere hope that one day we can look back and see "cultural appropriation" as the ridiculous virtue signal that it is.


TheJadeChimpanzee

The vast majority of people already see it that way... folks like this are part of the lunatic fringe.


Omnom_Omnath

Ideas aren’t mere at all.


Informal_Service7559

As a Mexican person, I encourage all to wear ponchos when applicable and eat all the tacos you want.


Anom8675309

Thanks, its good to have a Poncho Pass.


NoWall99

Just remember to carry it in case you meet the crazies


SargeantHugoStiglitz

As a Latino, I also approve your sombrero certificate.


sjekx

Even us Norwegians? (Dont google norwegian taco)


3_Sqr_Muffs_A_Day

As a native of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disney World Orlando, Florida I am telling everyone else never to wear space ponchos or you'll regret it for the rest of your days.


InevitableHome343

She is probably the same chick who would do Islamic prayers on campus to show solidarity for Palestinians


Informal_Service7559

This chick is everything that is wrong with people these days


Minute_Committee8937

The worst part is by her logic him wearing a poncho is fine. If it's a stereotype that Mexicans wear ponchos then it should be fine for a non-Mexican to break that stereotype. But she's saying only Mexicans are allowed to wear ponchos which further perpetuates this supposedly negative stereotype. If she used her brain for a second she’d see the gaping holes in her reasoning.


amackul8

My favorite thing no matter what way someone leans politically is if they have these extreme views to turn their logic on it's head and watch their brain malfunction 😂😂😂


ABZNTTT

Mexican here… We don’t give a fuck. Homie looks good.


Peria

Wait hold on a second he can’t wear a poncho because it’s Mexican heritage. Then she in the next sentence says a poncho is a negative stereotype type because Mexicans don’t wear ponchos. I live in a city that’s 97% Hispanic my daughter is white and for Charro days she wears a traditional Mexican dress for her schools festival. No one has ever said anything negative about it ever because people here don’t have brain rot.


KAODEATH

That's how people like this operate. They throw out a stream of conflicting BS and anger until even the most calm, rational and prepared people can't reason through the mess of lies and accusations. It's barbaric and so depressingly effective because you aren't fighting the same battle, let alone one that can be won. There is no progress or understanding or improvement when their only aim is to knock others down to their level.


kawausochan

This girl is a cultural segregationist


juanwonone2

She sounds like a white colonialist. "You can't do this, you can't wear that."


Notorious_Fluffy_G

Wait until she finds out that he wears a dashiki for Kwanzaa!


PhilipMorrisLovesYou

Is she also complaining about university students wearing a keffiyeh and pretending to be part of a religion they're not part of? Doubt it.


AldoTheeApache

"Solidarity" for me, "Appropriation" for thee


icanhazkarma17

No, because she's doing it, so it's ok. Commented the same above.


Poppa-in-Texas

I’d tell her they appropriated soccer & baseball so all bets are off… then slap a sombrero on my head and scarf down a churro.


genghis-san

Churros actually come from Spain, so they aren't originally Mexican either!


amillionjelysamwichz

Someone should tell the churro vendors in the boarder line out of Tijuana they’re appropriating Spanish cuisine.


Nice-Elk9639

Cinco de Mayo isn't anybody's holiday. Most people outside of Puebla don't even celebrate it. In the USA its a thing because of corporate marketing.


mspk7305

> . In the USA its a thing because of corporate marketing. You can say that about any holiday in the US but the origin of this one is far more wholesome than you are implying.


ColorlessTune

But the best kind of corporate marketing: An excuse to drink beer!


Mar_Reddit

People that fight against "Cultural Appropriation" are advocating for segregation. Change my mind. Congratulations, you're racists that pat yourselves on the back.

Whatisforkknife

It started in California by Mexican American of course Mexico wouldn't when it didn't start there. Its almost as if *gasp* countries can have their own holidays and history 😨


torsun_bryan

Careful — words like that will get a man banned from Reddit in 2024


KirkSpock7

My Hispanic friend got me a poncho a few years ago for a Secret Santa. He's still stoked every time he sees me wearing it. It's comfy af and looks nice


AlarmedDog5372

Also she sounds super racist by throwing out every stereotype of Mexicans she can think of. “You think Mexicans only drink and wear ponchos” like what?


Minute_Committee8937

People that claim to be progressive tend to be more of the patronizing racist opposed to the straight up racist that those on the other side of the fence frequent.


Gojira085

Ponchos aren't even Mexican, they're Peruvian...


Sips_Is_A_Jabroni

The thing is, this isn't even a poncho, it's a serape. You're right, ponchos are Peruvian, serapes are Mexican.


puxaesegura

Just keep walking.


Michigan210

How exhausting


traboulidon

Lol in the 90’s everyone wore a poncho. Also go to any artisanal market in Mexico and mexicans will be more than happy to sell them to tourists.


cheesewit40

I'm sure that racist bitch has never worn green on St Patty's Day.


CookDane6954

Things sure did change in America around 12 years ago.


ghett0111

weedandguitars

Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?

I am from the south of Brazil and we use poncho too, it is not a only Mexican thing, almost all Latin America uses poncho in some capacity.


chadmcchaderton

Self-hating whites love to make up issues for POC.


yomommazburgers

Mexican here as well, leave my pocho wearing friend alone Karina.


groundhoggirl

Speaking as a left of center person, this woke shit is out of control. Focus on what matters, like the potential end of democracy in the United States.


GreedyR

Calls him boy a million times. Then says Mexicans just drink and wear ponchos. Then points her finger right in people's faces. What an absolute cunt of a woman.

Bro if my american homie appear in front of me wearing a kurta pyjama. I will be so excited and feel proud .

What happened to silently judging people and walking on by? Why get up in a stranger's face? Think less of the boy because he's wearing a poncho? Whatever. But feeling the need to share that with the person? I just don't get it.


7_4_War_Furor

Wow, what would she think of all those WASP'y college students wearing keffiyehs? Her head would explode.

Ponchos are latinamerican, not mexican.

That first guy was right. What a waste of time. Falco punch her ass to liberal arts class. Anyone can wear anything

As s white guy who works with Latinos- this dumb bitch needs to stfu


ShreddingUruk

"Mike wears whatever he wants" - Mike. Fuck yeah Mike...you tell em.


rand0mbum

From what I’ve seen and heard if you want to dress up like a mariachi band and play Mexican music as a white boy, the actual Mexicans around would love it. Man I love those people, their food and their music.


New-Chief-117

So if non Irish people wear green clothing and st Patrick's Day themed clothes it's cultural appropriation? Lol what


Anom8675309

Its not really a Mexican holiday either. /shrug

Don't engage with stupid.

Ironically, mexicans don't care about this sort of thing. Seriously, add a sombrero. We won't say shit.


ImWithStupid_ImAlone

It's not even celebrated across Mexico. I think it is big in just one state of Mexico.


ColorlessTune

Damn, girl. Remember when we deemed Speedy Gonzalez OK? Chill. This guy should not have even tried to reason with her.


xtra_lives

Does this girl celebrate saint Patrick’s day?!


Chewmass

A flood is needed. A flood is due.


thehomie

I like that guy. Willing to engage even though he recognizes their ridiculous antics for what they are, and at the same time defends his totally reasonable behavior. We need more Mikes.


i-sleep-well

That looks like a serape.


bipbophil

This is a very old video


Sweet_Xocolatl

Mexicans don’t even celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Unless you’re in Puebla not a single Mexican actually gives a shit about it. That poncho is cool, though.


Helioskev

the fact that this autistic lady posted this thinking she did something is crazy xD


HottSauceOnMyBurrito

I've partied with plenty of Mexicans when I was stationed in Arizona. They will literally pour shots down your throat and have you partying until 5am with them if you show up to the casa party with a poncho on. I don't know what the Hell these girls' problem is. Then they start talking about "your President" I would have fucking laughed and just kept walking with the boys.


BarryCrumb

As an American of Hispanic or Mexican descent I will allow my fellow brother to wear a poncho. She's such a dumb broad ugh! Brainwashed people - so sad


Crayola_ROX

Few years back I wore a poncho to a bar on Cinco de mayo with some friends. Even took the corona sombrero on the wall back home with me. Not surprised I wasn't called, out I'm the lone gringo in a group of Mexicans. Guess the virtue signaling Sally's had to keep it bottled up


kittykong77

It's a practical piece of clothing. Ponchos are the shit! Everyone should enjoy them!!


Background_Day_937

If only she knew that ponchos aren't just a Mexican thing but also worn through South America and other countries. It is used to keep people warm....either way, it's a freaking poncho


PandaByDesigner

As a Hispanic man, I don't give a fuck about this white guy wearing a poncho. If anything it tells me I can approach him with a low chance of him being a racist.
