And why is this being related to rascism? It's not like people are burning the flag of other countries in videos.

On the internet, I agree with you, everybody jumps on one another at the slightest chance. It sucks. In the real world, people have a lot more nuance. I'm not gonna immediately throw a milkshake at somebody for having an England flag up, and most people probably wouldn't bat an eye.

I'm not gleeful about the flag thing at all. I like it when we win the Euros and I can fly a flag and be proud for a short while. I once went on holiday in Portugal during the World Cup and had little England flags on my car and a few people shouted "Inglaterra!" at us and it was great.
