What is going on with people painting the red cross on the roundabouts to make the flag of england?

And why is this being related to rascism? It's not like people are burning the flag of other countries in videos.
In reality, Northern Ireland is a lovely place. A lot of our culture may have bad roots but most people are quite relaxed about everything.
Yes, it's great. Parts of the culture that are steeped in racism are not the good parts.
Not causing waves is not the same as being relaxed. I wouldn't complain about the colours in either community for my own safety there. People wanting to move on is purposely ignoring the bad parts to allow healing. The bad parts still need to go, over time.
I think people can learn mutual respect over time without attacking traditions.
