I've found a few random articles about it like a USA Today one but it wasn't very good. I'm assuming it's all because Mexico has an actual independence day they prefer to celebrate over this? Also feels like it was at one point, an actual celebration but has just become like every single other holiday and just commodified as shit? I see that Puebla, Mexico does sorta celebrate it at least

    A 2018 survey by NationalToday.com showed only 10% of Americans knew the true reason behind the holiday

    genuinely shocked that the percentage is so high
