Yeah, same thing with Dukes of Hazzard. I've heard the excuse that a lot of people like the flag in Canada cause of that show. But I still find it the weakest of excuses. They were asking some youths at a rock festival, might have been Sasquatch, I forget, and they echoed that hollowed sentiment. However they were alao asked, 'you understand it has to do with slavery and is highly offensive to many black people and minorities,' and every single person said, yeah they had at least an inkling of understanding of that. But it's not what it meant to them.
That there is willful, planned, inexcusable ignorance, and I have zero patience for it. Would I wear a swastika cause I like the geometry or the Volkswagen Beetle?
The guy is wrong legally, and I won't even give him the benefit of the doubt because I think in this case first impressions are completely correct.
