Ponchos often have pointed hoods. The English flag has a red cross. People are overreacting, and the similarities are not that great.
I have never seen a poncho with a pointed hood. Although, now that I think about it, that could just be because I live in the U.S. and we're a bit more touchy about the KKK here.
