    Default Re: Is this flag racist?

    The flag itself is not a racist symbol at all, but when it is used in the wrong context and connotation, with people saying such offensive things as "Born in England, Live in England..." etc, then people become easily offended and a stupid thing like this breaks out. So in short, NO. The flag is NOT racist. It was just hijacked for a purpose and people now believe it is racist, which is not the case at all considering the history behind the flag and the pride that English people (including me) show to it. The material printed on the flag, not the flag itself, is at fault, and it should be dealt with accordingly, but not to the extent where it would deface our national flag (of England).

    So, like Louis the Fat said, "Context is what matters"

    ...so where's my cigar, InsaneApache?
