If you care about intent:
I would guess a large cohort of confederate battle flags in race car games are on orange dodge chargers, with the intent of looking like the car on a show centering around the escapades of cousins trying to fight the corrupt county sheriff and county commissioner.
I don't know the intent behind putting it on the car in the show; but the intent of putting it on a car that looks like the car in the show is to identify with the show.
Anybody doing that today is at least a little insensitive and clueless, but that doesn't mean their intent was to actually identify with the confederacy (although, I guess there probably are some people who do intend such affiliation).
