The economic impact of the day's events was hard to gauge, though economists expected a one-day stoppage to have little long-term effect. In large swaths of the country, life went on with no noticeable difference. But protesters in numerous cities, many clad in white and waving mostly American flags in response to complaints that earlier rallies featured too many Latin American ones, declared victory as chanting throngs shut down streets.
I am not very clear about the grammar of the part in bold type, especially Latin American ones. What does it refer?

The part in boldface says that people complained because there were too many Latin American flags.
Stumble It!
