I just feel that it’s a bit much. Outside of Puerto Ricans, I don’t think I’ve ever seen another group (aside from the crackpot Republicans, but that’s not your average American) that has so much pride for their heritage that they need to deck themselves out in it and plaster it on everything they own. I just moved to Miami and there’s a massive Cuban population down here, I don’t see anyone decked out in the Cuban flag or anything close to that.
As for the “alt groups” (the acronym just keeps getting longer) there’s a difference between fighting for your rights and just plastering your flag everywhere and essentially shouting “respect me because I’m different!” to everyone. As an example, do people love the guy or girl that makes Marijuana legalization their identity? The ones that wear “legalize it!” Tshirts, wear socks and hats with pot leaves on it, and it’s all they ever talk about? No, most people (including myself, a heavy smoker for about 2 decades) find them annoying as fuck.
You can fight for something and promote it without making it your entire identity.
