Mexican People and Poc Should Dress Like White People on St. Pattys Day ☘️
Summary
A straphanger proposes that Mexican people and people of color should dress like white people on St. Patrick's Day, complete with "full white face" and red beards. The suggestion? Cultural appropriation payback. She argues white people have been wearing sombreros and fake mustaches on Cinco de Mayo for years, and now it's time to flip the script. Her St. Patrick's Day plans include crying in public and asking random Black men if they live in the neighborhood. Kareem's on board with the satirical protest and adds his own demand: white people should hand over their credit card numbers.

So what's your take? I think that Mexican people and people of color should dress like white people on St. Patrick's Day.
Yeah, 100% agree. "Kiss Me I'm Irish." I think full white face. Red beard? I want only red beards and white face. That's all I want to see. I have a question. Why only Mexicans and Black people? Because Mexican people, you left out Asians. You left out Arrow.
Okay, this is because white—I, we're all appropriated. No, white people have been putting on mustaches and sombreros and ponchos for years for Cinco de Mayo. And all we really wanted was liquor and avocado sales to go up.
What are you doing for St. Patrick's Day? For St. Patrick's Day, I will be um, crying in public. And I will be um, I don't know, pointing out a Black man and saying, "Do you live in this neighborhood?" I'll be doing that all day.
Hey, I 100% support this. I'm in. Also, white people, give a Black person your credit card number today.
