"Excuse me, sir"

Here's that article I mentioned in class last time. It's about a construction worker named Diego Reyna, who hung a Mexican flag on the Trump Tower project in Vancouver, Canada. He is a Canadian citizen, but is from Mexico, and some of his friends work at the site. The point he was trying to make is that despite Trump's rhetoric about Mexican immigrants, he still has no objection to taking advantage of the work they do.

Reyna then took a picture of the flag, which then was spread all over the Internet. He is is quoted in the article as saying "I’m a humble, middle-class construction worker. He’s a huge guy, a billionaire, and a candidate to run one of the most powerful countries in the world. Putting a Mexican flag on his tower is the only possible way I can say, ‘Excuse me, sir.’"

Personally, I think this was an effective means of protest. His actions made a clear statement without being violent or destructive, and putting it on the Internet made sure it was noticed in the United States as well as Canada. Predictably, the flag has since been removed.
