As I said before I'm from Canada and I have visited extensively the United States of American. There were lots of people still mad at the Yankees for beating them. I think anything that prompts hatred is wrong. There is a difference between remembering a war as a tragedy and picking sides.
As for being racist. Obviously wearing a certain tartan does not make the current individual racist. That being said the South did among other things fight to keep slaves. Would a Jew have the right to be offended by a swastika? If so does not an African American have the right to be offended by a confederate flag? For those who do not know the swastika and anything relating to the German nazi party is banned in German.
I just can't stand seeing people feel as though they have to pick a fight because couple hundred years back their parents fought on different sides. Show some love everyone
