That's not so in practice nowadays. Dual citizenship is not only frowned upon but is actively discouraged to the extent that some employment avenues are closed to dual citizens. I have had to state that I do not hold any other citizenship. Not only holding dual citizenships, but any action that shows substantial connection with any other country can close certain avenues.
