The writer was just trying to come up with a cute, colorful phrase for "people who like flags", because writers like cute, colorful phrases. It's not A+ journalism, but I don't think it's offensive and it almost certainly wasn't meant to be offensive.
- psunavy03 2y ago"I didn't mean it" doesn't really excuse offending someone.
- andrewflnr 2y agoIt definitely weakens the impact. Anyway, there's no evidence that anyone relevant is actually offended. Random commenters getting "offended" on behalf of others don't count.
