Fallout from the Age of the 10,000 Commandments

Apparently saltires are racist. This is one of those completely ridiculous instances of political correctness. The saltire is the Scottish flag. It's a rather simple symbol, actually, just the cross of St. Andrew backed by a field of blue. But apparently it might be offensive to non-Scots? What? At the National Library of Scotland, no less. Now, I don't think that this is anything to get worked up over, but it is one of those dumb little situations that arises because of the faux egalitarian world that we live in.
