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.

Wait until they find out that St George was from Turkey.

Don’t panic, they never will as it involves reading.

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.
