Rebecca Morris, who is an author of The New York Times best-seller true-crime books. a person who does research for a living can't research a flag? Give this person the Golden Bippy Award.

“I guess they road the train straight from Minnesota to Seattle?”
My grandmother was 17 when she came over to the USA back in 1906 or something. All alone, didn’t know anybody. She landed in New York. She asked about where the Norwegian’s lived. Some guy pointed to the sign and got her headed in the right direction on a train.
“I didn’t know I was going to Minnesota until hours on the train! I just wanted a neighborhood in New York City with some Norwegians. But, here I am.”

The Shetland flag is modeled after the Norweign flag. In 1468 Norweign king Christian 1, pawned the Orkney and Shetland Islands to the king of Scotland. He never reclaimed them and they are now a part of Scotland.

Perfect answer.
Also that you’re on a hair trigger to take offense at anything.

Im going to raise the skull and crossbones. Let them guess what that means. Our society has descended into idiocracy. And here I thought it was just a silly movie
Somebody will call it in as an ISIS flag and you'll get SWATTED at 2 o'clock in the morning.

The Serbian Chetnik flag is black has the skull and crossbones on it along with a slogan in Serbian: For King and Fatherland. Liberty or Death. My faher-in-law, having been a Chetnik in WW2, had one. I guess if I hoisted that outside my house, some of my neighbors might think it marked a pirate’s den.

By God Seattle has gone into the crapper. I remember when I lived there in Ballard, there were some people who only spoke Norwegian. Of course they were all fairly old then, and have probably passed on.

"To me, that is an Air Force Brigadier General's flag!"OK, but we're talking dims, here, with it's US military connotations, so they find that equally objectionable...

I have a British neighbor who flies a Union Jack at his house. Last Summer he came home from work and it was laying on his front porch. He put it back up. The next day he found it back on his porch, all cut up, with a note that his racism was not welcome in the neighborhood.Fortunately, the house next door has security cameras all over it and they found out who it was. So he sends the police down to her house to tell her what an idiot she is and to give her a an appearance ticket for criminal mischief.
Now I can't help wondering: Did she mistake the flag for something else--or did she identify the flag correctly and consider it racist because of Imperialism, Colonialism, and Mind Your Language?

You have the red and white inverted, and the Japanese flags (national and battle) never had black in them.
