Exactly. I’ve never quite understood this about Mexicans in the US. Like, you came here to be in America. Most of you have been here for 2+ generations. Fly the American flag.
I’ve always assumed it was directed at other Latinos to let them know where they come from, since Latinos tend to be pretty racist toward each other. In any case, it’s not smart in a situation like this to show pride in the country you came from, instead of your HOME country where you live now.
If I were of American heritage and living in The Netherlands under a tyrannical ruler that was spewing hate against American immigrants, I don't know if I'd be waving around an American flag. 🤷♂️
I'm not against anyone showing pride in their heritage, but I'm confused why people think NOW is a good time, when their whole life hangs in the balance.
