What would happen if Mexicans celebrated the Fourth of July the way Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
FLAMA, an online channel created by Univision, released a hilarious short video that shows exactly what that would look like: A boozy, stereotype-laden excuse to party.
Sound familiar?
In the US, Cinco De Mayo has become an excuse to knock back margaritas while sporting a sombrero. GlobalPost’s Allison Jackson explains why the celebrations earn side eye from Mexicans:
