If you lived in the UK you would be called a racist for saying that.
Most racists in the UK would make a similar argument about national flags, but I think, SW you could make the argument without being called a racist. Personally, I would wish to distance myself from racists by not making those arguments.

In the UK we arent even allowed to have the English/ UK flag up in areas because it might offend other people.
There is no law in the UK against flying the Cross of Saint George or the Union Flag. Of course there are UK cities where you would be unwise to fly the English flag because the offence it caused might put you at risk. For example:

















Glasgow, Cardiff etc.

It is so stupid
Rather than stupid, it is sad that the English flag has been appropriated by people who are racist. Let's reclaim it as a national, rather than an ethnic, symbol.
