Several points here...

Cinco De Mayo isn't much celebrated in Mexico, except for localized festivity in or around Puebla.

It was introduced to California during the 1960's via the American Chicano movement, the blather about it being ubiquitous since the 1862 battle is bullshit. It doesn't matter which race obsessed ethnic professor spouts it or which "journalist" regurgitates it, it's still and always will be bullshit.

It was picked up by the liquor companies and promoted to fatten the corporate bottom line.

Therefore, it is an American booze festival. There shouldn't be any problem with American flags displayed on that day.
