... It's the Southwest. People from Mexico and of Mexican ancestry live there. They feel pride for their culture. How could this logically be seen as a badthing?
It's also just very hypocritical. It has long been common for immigrants to the US to display the flags of their country of origin. There are still Irish and Italian flags here everywhere. Lots of flags used in the Asian-American community, some even for countries that no longer exist.
Mexico has just been so long maligned by modern white Americans that they don't believe Mexican-Americans are entitled to the same degree of cultural pride afforded to everyone else.
Not to mention it used to be Mexico
Fox News only shows the 1 or 2 stores getting looted. They don’t show the regular protesters waving flags and asking for peace.
It’s making others scary and that’s what the dipshits I work with are seeing every day. It’s depressing.
