Maybe they didn't want to risk having their B & B burned down.

Of course it is. Do you think this flag triggers people the way a confederate flag does?

It may trigger a Swede or a Dane. They may look like they all get along but there’s some major cultural beef between those countries that go back a couple hundred years (my ex is Norwegian).

Sweden and Norway have come to blows numerous times throughout history.

Those Swedes are a truculent bunch.

So, instead of just educating the idiots, they bow down to them?

How does that solve anything?

Yeah... I don’t think it should have been taken down. Maybe put an I <3 Norway sign underneath or something identifying it as not a confederate flag. Although the ignorance of confusing the two is pretty inexcusable. I’d just tell them to go google the Norwegian flag and **** off.

Because they'll still get their business burned down.

When the SJW mob decides you're an enemy it's game over for you no matter if it's a clearly a mistake on their part.

These folks throw out the baby with the bath water all the time.

Well, I’m guessing the morons from the emails and ones that personally approach them aren’t the issue, they can be handled by simply telling them how stupid they are and educating them. I think it’s the idiotic cowards out there who may try to vandalize their property that worries them. I can’t say that I blame them.

Because they would be in jeopardy of losing their business and being labeled as racists for having a flag of Norway...which looks nothing like a confederate flag, except for their colors, but because ONE person somehow was offended by it and made a false assumption, then they are right, and the rest is wrong, and Norway will now be cancelled until they change their flag. At least that's typically how it goes here in 2020 lol.
