Eddie: Cuco, It's October 12th! Do you... Cuco: Yes, yes, I do. In Latin America, October 12th is known as El Dia de la Raza.

Some natives call this Indigenous People day... a day to remember genocide and enslavement of native nations. So were you going to school me on some other so-called holiday event, Eddie? Eddie: There's a Columbus day happy hour special at Luigi's! Cuco: Well, quit your yakkin' and let's go!
I myself prefer to call it “Día de la Hispanidad”
