i was not talking about the businesses or tourist places flying other countries’ flags…i was talking about visitors flying their own country’s flag on their vehicles. also, the homes flying their native countries’ flags.

during the Gulf war, there were many incidences reported when neighbors called police or had a big verbal fights before the police arrived.

i found them less tolerant to other countries when it came to their patriotism.

Tourists can* absolutely *fly their native countries’ flags on their vehicles if they want, and people, as I stated earlier, can and do the same outside their homes as well. I’m sure most people would not bat an eye. Very unfair to characterize a nation of over 300 million people based on some alleged “incidences” involving pesky neighbors from two decades ago. Plus, if people were less tolerant of other countries or their flags, they would be boycotting businesses like Ikea that display flags of other countries.

By the way, Indian Americans (almost 80% of whom are foreign born) are incredibly successful group and earn twice the national average. Even Pakistani Americans are much more successful lot than their British counterparts or even Canadian Pakistanis. That is in part because of their education, hard work, and level of integration into society no doubt but also because of the opportunities that America gives them and the tolerance and acceptance of diversity of Americans in general.

Even Canadians love coming to America, not to mention hogging some of the great jobs.
