“A Day without Gringos”
Ahh, yes. That old Mexican hospitality (emphasis mine):
Hundreds of union members rallied Monday to support Mexican migrants working in the United States and call for a boycott of U.S. goods in what was dubbed “A Day Without Gringos.” The boycott call by unions came as Mexico celebrated May Day, a holiday dedicated to workers and when business is a fraction of the normal.Immigration rallies also are planned across the United States, where immigrants are being urged to boycott work, school and shopping as part of the “Day Without Immigrants.”At least a half-dozen state governors in Mexico endorsed the boycott of McDonald’s, Wal-Mart and hundreds of other U.S. companies here. Measuring the impact of the actions was likely to prove difficult.
Gringos?
And this thing had the support of state governors?
Why shouldn’t I be offended? I’m not walking around talking about a Day without Spicks, after all.
What’s going on here?
