3. El Día de Muertos (AKA, Day of the Dead)
The catrina on the right is painfully Disney-fied. Also, it's technically "El día de muertos," not "El día de los muertos." The "los" gives you all away every time.

9. Cinco de Mayo
The Battle of Puebla was a battle between Mexico and France and, in our country, it is celebrated with commemorative parades. In the United States, it is apparently just an opportunity to get drunk and to wear a stereotypical "costume."

They took the most kickass telenovela villain in the history of Mexico and had her briefly appear in a promo for Netflix's "Orange Is The New Black."
