Saying that Mexicans behave like Mexicans is not a smear any more than saying that Americans behave like Americans. For specific examples, not learning English and waving Mexican flags in the USA. I wouldn’t wave an American flag in Mexico, unless it was at a sporting event and I was visiting. If I was an immigrant to Mexico, I’d damn sure wave the Mexican flag. I wouldn’t fault Mexicans for getting irritated at American immigrants behaving that way either.

No, they didn’t tell me what it was they didn’t like about the illegal immigrants.

I’ve seen lots of people who have Irish ancestors but have never even been to Ireland wave Irish flags. They still want to be Americans. Why can’t Mexicans do the same? I don’t think that saying what you would do is a way to judge other people. How do you know people waving flags don’t speak English? Are you referring to something specific?
