Hmmmm - what do you suppose the response would be to a rally of white people marching down the street carrying "white power" posters?
I suppose by their logic I have the right to march back into the European countries of my descent and claim an inalienable, racially based "right" to live and work there, to burn their flag, to advocate overthrow of their government and to disregard their laws.
Yes, it does. And it seems that there is no "timit limit" -- Albanians are claiming to be "ancient Illyrians" and that is why they say it is "their land"!
I am an American Serb (born here) and a native Californian, which is why both of these issues break my heart.
I have always loved the Mexican influence here in CA and CA's recognition of it's Mexican heritage. I grew up around the fruit ranches in Fresno and the Santa Clara Valley (pre-Silicon Valley) and I have always felt for the Mexican migrant workers -- and respected those who were able to make a real life here in the next generations.
But this is something else -- this is political, not "racial" or "cultural". When I saw the realtime protests here in my area, Chicanos were carrying Mexican flags and posters saying that "California is Mexico!"
I kept thinking what's next? "Gringo, get out!"?
