Doesn't bother me because now I know to watch my back around this guy. I understand how people can be offended if they see an offensive (to them) symbol everytime they look out their window but if some guy has confederate flag or gang symbol on his bumper....who cares? The guy just did you a favor by broadcasting to you that he's trouble.
You do not know how we are wired.

Someone who sports the Confederate Flag is not automatically "trouble." Such labeling of people is problematic because it is above and beyond the labeling of the items themselves. It is different than a gang symbol and a Nazi symbol.

And only an idiot would sport a gang symbol on his bumper, if that's true. The police better be watching him.
