I don't think that burning the Union Jack is necassarily a racist thing, and more of an anti-monarchist political statement. Indeed, there are plenty of pro-independence groups in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland who also burn Union Jacks.

And although I struggle to take him seriously as 'Big' Dan, yoitsdan has hit the nail on the head with the earlier post summing up all the hoohah, so he can have a CC. Well done yoitsdan.
I read that Mundine has hatred for the British for the way our ancestors treated his.
All of Britain used to be one Celtic nation, until the Anglo Saxons, Romans and pretty much every conquering nation popped up to take their bit of the country. However, I guess the British empire is more recent, and probably it is only a generation or two ago when stuff like slavery and apartheid were still seen as valid states of being, and non-white people were still treated as second class citizens. And although that has been rectified throughout most of the civilised world, I guess it can still cause strong feelings.
