Foreigner here. Why is this automatically offensive?
Isn't there a historical angle to this, and not a racist one?

Yup, makes no sense. It's not a rational thing.[/quote]

Because 99 percent of the time people are not displaying this flag because of historic reasons they are waving it to send a message of hate and racism since the KKK co-opted it as a symbol of white pride umpteen years go. Now, if they don't want to be perceived as hateful and racist then they can find another way to honor whatever history they think is associated with the  battle flag of the confederacy. [/quote]

You are so dead wrong.  Get off your high horse.

I just saw stickers on a car with the pre-revolutionary Iranian flag, that is offensive to some but the new flag is offensive to others.  Absent a ban on any flag that isn't the US flag, I don't see how you can signal it out.  Hell, the North Carolina flag probably is offensive to some now....[/quote]
