Why wave the flags of the nation you don’t want to go back to (best case) or completely abandoned ?
Makes no sense.

You can be proud of your heritage, and be living here, or born a citizen here. No one wants to be harassed because they got racially profiled. Its stop and frisk on a national scale.

Alternative perspective? Everyone in this thread getting upset about flags is kind of juvenile in both directions.

Couldn't you say that exact quote about any nationality in America? If someone has an Irish flag on their front porch, does that mean they abandoned Ireland and shouldnt be able to defend any issue happening against the Irish in america or celebrate any irish holidays as long as that flag flies? Your logic falls apart instantly. Mexican Americans' identities are shaped by both flags. Just like any other _-American, they don't have to reject their heritage to prove they belong here. Are they supposed to look at the Mexican flag with disgust? Pretend their roots don't exist? Never display it on American soil? Hide it in their closet so they don't confuse people like you that don't understand immigrants can have both positive and negative feelings about their country of birth, or that American born multiple generation individuals with brown skin and Mexican DNA can feel pride and identity in it? If you read the signs or knew anything you spoke about, most of these people in the protests are 2nd, 3rd gen meaning they're American born, citizenship having mexicans and you said "Why wave the flags of the nation you don't want to go back to" when many in the photo have probably never even been to Mexico! But it's immediately "go back to".
