do you think it'll fly? What if they tell me no? Can I claim discrimination?

You need permission to leave work? I thought you can just stop going?

They can fire your ass for being a lazy Mexican, but they can't fire you for being Mexican. Regardless, unless you have a religious reason to take off, you're stuck.

I'm Mexican and I would not try that.

It's not discrimination because it is not a US holiday. Just another reason to drink.
