Let's be honest here. Basically no one that's English is actually proud of their country in a non-racist way.
We have two flags. The union jack which is xenophobia lite, and the English flag for full-fat racism.
The US is pretty similar in that they have their US flag for the xenophobia lite and then the Confederate flag for the deep fried racism.
The Confederate flag is worse in that ultimately the Confederate was only ever about racism and slavery, and no sports teams use it so when ever you see it, it's always about racism.
