True enough, though it's an obvious stereotype.

I know. Its a bit hard to shake off though. Being nonwhite I don't want to start off something in case they're really racist though. So to me that flag is like warning almost.

You ought to travel around in the South more - I think your idea that it's a warning in any way will more or less disappear. They have little shops that sell Confederate flags all over the place and many people down there have one. Many of them certainly aren't racist and are actually quite welcoming of other races (when I brought two of my half white, half Asian friends down there, they were nice and actually kinda curious about their heritage). I even got a Confederate flag that I brought back home, too, though I usually don't wave it around as I know the flag is regarded with hostility much more in Seattle than in the South.

It is when ppl are not in the South and carry that flag that I start to wonder. Is it because of their heritage? maybe maybe not.

Although I'd like you to explain why so many racist organizations feel connection to that flag. After all if the Civil War was "not about slavery" then why would they even connect their ideas to that flag?
