Another Cinco de Mayo has already come and gone this week, but not without a Mexican student instructing Americans in USA Today not to celebrate by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as shortening the word guacamole and purchasing ponchos.

The self-appointed authority on how Americans should conduct themselves while celebrating the highly Americanized Cinco de Mayo holiday is Dani Marrero, a Mexican student who grew up in Texas and currently attends college in Boston.

After criticizing American versions of salsa (“just smashed tomatoes and disappointment”) and accusing Americans of using May 5 each year as “an excuse for excessive drinking and cultural appropriation,” Marrero tells readers to avoid “four activities” during their “fiestas” — a word she continually puts in quotes, as if Americans don’t know how to throw a rollicking party.

“Don’t buy sombreros, ponchos or fake mustaches” is Marrero’s first proclamation. “We have said time and time again,” she writes, speaking for 122.3 million Mexicans and some 12.5 Mexican immigrants. “Our culture is not for you to create costumes out of.”
