Holding onto your traditions inside the house is not the issue, it's outside of the house that's the issue. You are being obtuse on purpose.Kath wrote:This has been debunked numerous times.

That's still true today. Mexicans who grew up here do speak English.
My grandmother dad's side (second generation,) knew some Ukrainian but mostly spoke English. She held onto her traditions until she died. Same with my mother's side. She grew up in a primarily Polish neighborhood, where Polish was more the norm than not, and they had their own traditions. Even though the two cultures are very close (due to geography,) each of my parents brought different traditions to the marriage and I grew up with a very blended culture, between Polish, Ukrainian and American. (mostly American.)

you are being obtuse. I grew up in Chicago, where there are parades for everything... Polish pride, St Patrick's Day, Italian Fest, Greek fest ... it goes on and on and on ... we absolutely hold onto our traditions. Cinco de Mayo is no different than St Patty's Day.The Conservative wrote:

We went to Chicago in July. I went to an authentic Polish deli to get real Polish sausage. What were they doing in there? Speaking Polish.
Then we went to an authentic Italian deli to get real Italian sausage. They were speaking Italian.
The point is, we DO hold onto our cultures. Quit pretending we don't.

I've responded to all your points. You refuse to see that all immigrants have a culture that they brought here and continue to celebrate to this day. The Mexicans are no different.The Conservative wrote:So instead on countering my original point... you ignored it, and you went after the meme? Wow...Kath wrote:And they do.

What makes the Cinco de Mayo parade bad and the Polish Day parade good?

I said forcing their culture on us...outside of their house, what part of this is so hard to understand?
