This is comparing the controversy of flag to another, how is that ‘apples-and-oranges’?
Because the Mexican flag is not being flown over any state capitol or federal building that I know of. The Confederate flag is. And people are talking about taking the Confederate flag down from government buildings, not banning the ownership of it entirely. And honestly even if it were flying over government buildings, I'd consider a drive to remove the Mexican flag as stupid and as pointless as the drive to remove the Confederate flag is.
