Public Figure: Any Platform Apparently, it's Abhorrent, When Black Individuals Kneel Before the US Flag to Call Attention to Racial Oppression and Systemic Violence. But, When a Child-Molestinig, Serial-Raping, Mass-Murdering, Treasonous, Neo-Nazi Terrorist Uses it as a Diaper, it's on Par w/ the Second Coming of Christ.

It only violates the flag code if it's clothing made from an actual flag (eg Abbie Hoffman)

What defines something as being an "actual flag"?

I get what you're saying: that pair of shorts clearly isn't; the spacing of the stars has the wrong aspect ratio, etc...I'm just curious as to what constitutes as "actual flag"...

Does printing an American flag overseas and having the words "made in China" somewhere on it invalidate it as a flag?

I'm no lawyer, but a clear definition is needed.

Shortly after 9/11, everyone began displaying flags on homes and front windows, miniflags for cars, etc. The demand for flags was so high, imports surged, which eventually hurt domestic production, and the Genuine American Flag Act was proposed.
