I don't see this flag as a racist thing personally, because for me the Civil War is about the history and the battles. However, I can see how it is being used that way and seen that way nowadays.

An interesting comparison here with another starry cross. The Southern Cross, as it appears on the Australian flag, is used as a code symbol by some people to send an anti-immigrant message. "Love it or leave it". Not everyone, and often it's just a patriotic thing: "I love Australia". But often enough it's sending a negative message that when it's used as a windscreen sticker on a certain type of car, or as a tattoo on a certain type of person, you know exactly what is being said.
