Hmm, I dunno. I hate racists too, but I don't think that was the reason the author was including it, and it's certainly not my reason for choosing it on my profile, for example. I hate the way it has become synonymous with racism. Theoretically, we should all be able to call ourselves English/Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish/[insert nationality here] as well as calling ourselves British (if we want) without it being a problem. I hate the way the disgusting racist people have hijacked it. I'm not proud of being English, I don't wave flags, I'm not particularly patriotic, nor am I a royalist, and I don't give a damn about the nationality or ethnicity of anybody who lives in this country. Everybody is welcome.
I'm English and British, and European, of course. Whilst on this website I quite like the way the English flag looks a bit like the various Nordic flags, being a cross-shape etc. so I chose it.
There's an option to choose the Scottish, Irish (Republic) and Welsh flags on here, so why not the English one as well? I don't see anything racist in that.
