I think it’s the English flag they call racist. The St Georges flag. I think I just heard football fans laugh. (Real football, not the US-American throwing game)

And I’m not the one who finds it controversial. In Europe, "American" could refer to the American continents, not just the USA. In fact, before World War II, when somebody said "Amerika" in Germany, they usually meant the American continents. And I don't find the George flag controversial either. But as long as England insists on having their own football (soccer) team, they will probably never become world champion again. Now that the goal line technology has been invented. ;)

I'm glad we're not banning this one: It lets me know who to make fun of.... and avoid dealing with... It's like a "I'M WITH STUPID" t-shirt... with the arrow pointing up.

If Scotland finally decides to break up the Union we’d have to redesign the flag.

Short for Americans, but this abbreviation is used for US Americans. Since World War II, "Amerikaner" has also become almost a synonym for "US-Amerikaner". I believe the latter is more correct.

How stupid do you gotta be to confuse the flag of Norway with the Confederate flag?
Reminds me of Porky's 2 when the Jewish kid pointed out one his bullies was just too stupid to even be racist.

Banned from the United States?
No, from modern progressive and repentant England.
Is that a Brexit thing that the Union Jack has taken on the same loathing as the Rebel Flag.

No. Brexit is a great example of the Govt establishment ignoring their constituents.
But who has a greater history of oppression and abuses around the entire globe more than the British Empire?
