(except perhaps in cases where there is an aspiration for statehood).
And that creates this ambiguous situation where the Mexican flag stands for the nation of Mexico and Mexican ethnicity simultaneously. I think that's the crux of the problem, and the true solution is for ethnic groups to develop their own flags that stand for them as a group that are distinct from, say, some nation that lies on the other side of the border.
I think that would clear the bad optics issue in the absence of other symbolisms (Palestinian keffiyeh comes to mind, for instance).
