what does cinco de drinko have to do with construction anyway?

It wasn’t a Cinco de Mayo party. It had no sombreros or tacos, as far as anyone knows.
Yet the University of Chicago’s Phi Gamma Delta, known casually as FIJI, has nonetheless been reported for the “bias incident” of throwing a party where attendees wore construction outfits.
Relevant to know: Its fraternity house has been “under renovation and construction for two years.”
But activists don’t care about context. If the left-wing arbiters of cultural appropriation get their way, FIJI’s members could face disciplinary action.
The Chicago Maroon reports that the party was originally scheduled for May 5, but its start time was revised to midnight May 6. Its original theme was “get hammered” – hence the Photoshopped construction hats on fraternity brothers, hammer and construction crane in the Facebook invitation.
The left-wing Latino student group MEChA issued a veiled threat May 4 to anyone who might violate “the fine line between celebrating culture on a national holiday and undermining the cultural dignity of a group through ignorant and ill-intentioned appropriation.”

IOW, eventually we’ll all have go around nekkid.
Some coddled, entitled, snowflake, from the magical hufflepuff house, wearing the magical cloak of racial victimhood has cried out their special spell: “RACISM!”
Now all the children have to quickly retreat to their safe-spaces and find their seats while waiting for the big bad PC troll to comes and mete out justice!
I never liked this holiday. They wanted to give Hispanics their own St. Patricks day and it always felt fake. It’s like when you try to come up with your own nickname. Just move on and stop having cinco de mayo parties. They aren’t fun anyway.
What we really need is a holiday celebrating King Moeshoeshoe’s unification of Lesotho in the 19th century.
Construction = wall building = RACISM!
Corona came up with it to sell more beer, and the lime hides the old skunk beer taste btw.
Perhaps we should scold people whose ancestors did not migrate here from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland with “cultural appropriation” when they speak English instead of their ethnic native language, such as Swahili or other African dialects or native American languages of pre-Hispanic entry into Central and South American, for all of those who speak Spanish, because they are ‘appropriating’ that language from Spain i.e. it is not of Mexican origin.
I don’t like mayo so I celebrate Cinco De Miracle Whip.
.
Miracle Whip
B A R F !
May 5 is a day in Mexico not a holiday.
I’ve been in Mexico several times on the 5th and it is never celebrated .
It’s an American invention, like St Patrick’s Day. It isn’t celebrated in Ireland and they do not eat corned beef, with cabbage and red potatoes
So I have been told. Have never been to Mexico and don’t ever care to either. All I know is that the day deals with some Mexican battle victory.
Yeah, it was a battle with a debt collector.
It ain't no English ale, but I must admit I like Corona with lime on a hot day.
I though you were going to say colleges have.
I tried to get there.
“It’s an American thing. “
Concocted and promoted by the beer/liquor and restaurant lobby.
Groan....

How about the plain old idea that people should be free to do whatever they want so long as it does not physically affect other people? Why are the left such busybodies?
At UF, to issue invitations to the ladies to their Homecoming party, FIJI would run around campus in grass skirts with their faces painted, waving spears and making booga-booga noises, with the invitations rolled up in a bone.
Kappa Alpha would wear Confederate uniforms and ride around on horse back to issue theirs.
Unfortunately my memories of Lamba Chi Alpha’s antics are obscured by fragrant clouds of local origin....
It was started by a tequila company to promote their product.
