    Cambridge Dictionary

    racism : the belief that people's qualities are influenced by their race and that the members of other races are not as good as the members of your own, or the resulting unfair treatment of members of other races

    racist : someone who believes that other races are not as good as their own and therefore treats them unfairly

    Therefore as a flag is not a person, its an inanimate object it cannot be racist.

    No the flag is not racist.

    A racist can wave the flag just like anyone else... but the flag remains just the symbol of England.

    IIRC St George was possibly Turkish or Syrian in origin - and was a guy who stood up for minority interests (Christianity). So its not a good starting point for racists. Having said that the racists I have met don't know their arses from their elbows anyway.

    It's not a racist flag and it's not a racist country. Yes there are racists here, just like there are criminals, scroungers and other vermin.
