Reply #90: It's not, for sure.

And that too is a different case from the cinco de mayo or St. Pat's parade, where immigration isn't a theme. You can assume that the people at the parade are citizens, or not citizens, but nobody is confusing ethnic pride with a quest for citizenship. Ethnic pride has nothing to do with a quest for citizenship, except as a supposed remedy to the presumed motive of racism, which, as I said before, it not a large part of the motive for immigration controls. Waving a flag of a foreign country detracts from the message of a quest for citizenship.
