    Flags: not racist

    Using flags to create an atmosphere of exclusion: likely racist, definitely xenophobic

    Don’t get me wrong, I love a good flag, and the St George’s cross is a great design (esp. When it doesn’t have “England” written on it) but 90% of the people flying the flags are slow witted flag fuckers who are upset that brown people exist in “their” country.

        Not to detract from the point, but I do feel your comment lacks some detail. So I went to Wikipedia to double-check.

        Saint George was born in the Cappadocia province of the Roman Empire, which occupied the same lands as modern central-eastern Turkey.
