Sometimes people get over zealous in the quest to end racism.
We're all a little bit racist, even if it's in ways we don't understand, but that doesn't make us inherently evil, humans just come with some evolutionary baggage, and some of us encourage those traits in our kids.
I think it's how people face that baggage that makes or breaks them.
just my opinion.

What I don't get
is why the Union, Welsh and Scottish flags are fine, but the St. George's cross is controversial. I could understand it if it were a flag of a nation with a terrible history like, say, the nazi flag, but the English one should, if anything, be the opposite of that.

it's hard to put a finger on exactly
It's just a vague sense of something.
for a while it was used by nationalist groups like the BNP, and though it's been re-appropriated more recently, nationalist groups like the EDL still use it.
I guess the association lingers at the back of the mind for some people, even though in other contexts it absolutely shouldn't be a problem.
