This year's Cinco De Mayo, 44th Governor of Arkansas and former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee tweeted: "For Cinco de Mayo I will drink an entire jar of hot salsa and watch old Speedy Gonzales cartoons and speak Spanish all day. Happy CdMayo!"
This tweet was only an example of the long-standing tradition Americans have of celebrating Cinco De Mayo in a culturally insensitive manner. KCSB's Nkechi Ikem spoke with UC Santa Barbara student Veronica Mandujano about her perspective on Cinco De Mayo and how it can be celebrated without being offensive.
