With regard to getting my facts wrong, the source you refer to is American, (I have looked!). Try the Chambers - "*Racist Term Removed noun, offensive a person of Black African origin or race. ETYMOLOGY: 18c: from French nègre, from Spanish negro black." or the Oxford - "noun - offensive a black person." — USAGE The word *Racist Term Removed has had strong offensive connotations since the 17th century. Recently, however, it has begun to be used by black people as a mildly disparaging or ironically affectionate way of referring to other black people. Despite this, when used by white people it remains strongly offensive, and should be avoided. — ORIGIN from Spanish negro ‘black’." Don't want to argue too much about what was what & when, it could be far too lengthy to discuss on this forum, totally agree with your point about our flags though.

Indians have never been referred to as "*Racist Term Removed", the term was used towards Black people and in this form originates from the USA. Dervied from Negro the Latin word for Black and the classification of race - Negroid. Where on earth did you that idea from? Indians are Caucasian like the most indigenous British people! Your argument loses any credit it may of had if you get basic facts wrong. For the record I don't think that the Union Jack or the St Georges cross have any racist symbolism except perhaps in the minds of racist people who may not necessarily be indigenous or have British Heritage. Racists are all around and should all be treated with contempt.
