let me get this straight... you can
 

burn an american flag at a protest, but not a mexican flag?

Why is it in the United States that we have lost our sense of nationalism? It seems as if the idea of being "an American"** is being beaten out by "insert country-American". I'm a Mexican-American, I'm an African-American, I'm a Cuban-American.... what about, I am an American? I'm here because I want to be in one of the greatest countries to live and prosper, and for that I exchange my nationality from X country to the United States.

**The use of the term American to refer to residents of the United States of america is not meant to exclude members of Canada, Central or south America as Americans. Offer void in Utah, Iowa and New Mexico. Some restrictions apply.
