Flag Display Sparks Protest, Racist Remarks Mexican Flag Flown At New Haven Town Hall
September 25, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The decision of the Mayor’s Office to put a Mexican flag on its space downtown has caused pro-*test*-('")ers to storm the area and set off a flurry of racist remarks.
Dozens of letters and e-mails recently bombarded the office after the Mexican flag was put up last week for a pair of observances, officials said.
People of all races were pro-*test*-('")ing in the area Thursday, stating that flying the flag of a foreign country won’t be tolerated.

They certainly should do, as I did back at University. The town hall usually flew the Saltire (this being in Scotland), but United Nations Day they would swap this for the U.N. flag - this raised two objections with me, first they flew the Saltire at night which is uncivilised in the extreme and second it is the flying of a foreign flag over Her Majesty's lands.
