I am sorry for watching and enjoying this sketch, to keep my dementia at bay, (only available in some countries, sorry). In the sketch, a singer performs a Spanish song (you can see the English subtitles) which is called, "A Latin pop star’s Spanish-language hit delivers a pointed message to its ignorant white fans.". Now from 1:54, he sings, "I'm sorry for the sombrero thing on Cinco de Mayo". What would be funny about this line or would the line just be meaningless if the whole theme is "A Latin pop star’s Spanish-language hit delivers a pointed message to its ignorant white fans."?
*I know what sombrero is.
*Cinco de Mayo : Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The day, which falls on Wednesday, May 5 in 2021, is also known as Battle of Puebla Day. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.
I didn't know about Cinco de Mayo. But it looks like it is not at all offensive to the U.S people even if the sketch theme is "A Latin pop star’s Spanish-language hit delivers a pointed message to its ignorant white fans."?
Does it mean anything or is it just nonsense?
