You can try to tell them otherwise, but it isn't going to work; it's arguing for nothing. The only thing you can do is give a little and save yourself (and others) from the annoyances of arguing and just change your avatar to something different.

You don't need to have the Confederate flag as your avatar, particularly if it is going to cause so much trouble. Per this. Personally I'm seeing good points from both sides but honesty, sacrificing your little freedom of having a certain avatar on a wiki site about another site about plastic bricks is worth avoiding the disruption you're creating for the community and the embarassment you're causing for yourselves.
