Kimba all the people celebrating St Patty's Day are not Irish. But they are assimilating. I have been known to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and i am not Mexican. Or take the day off for Columbus Day and you guessed it, I am not Italian.

Assimilate maybe the wrong word,but to ignore ones origins. America itself totally needs the exposure to other cultures to grow .

The big national holiday in Mexico is the 16th of September. I lived in Mexico of and on for three years, and the cinco de mayo was not a major deal. This became a big deal in the US, mostly to promote Mexican beer.
