I saw a political debate programme on TV years ago and they started to talk about the St Georges flag. This black politician said that the St Georges flag should be banned because he has always associated it with racism. His comments annoyed me that much that I have never forgotten about it.
During the last world cup, a passing policeman asked me to take my flag out of my window because it may upset the local ethnic minorities.
Also, my friend is now a policeman, and in the canteen at the station where he is based, they are not allowed to ask for black or white coffee. They have to say coffee, with or without milk!
Is any of this right? I would love to know the opinions of ethnic minorities living in england...... and of course, what do the other white english people think. Is the St Georges flag really offensive? Or like me, do you think we are going to far with political correctness?!
