While the Nazi flag may be a racist symbol, the Swastika, however, is not a racist symbol. Billions of people understand its religious significance.

  The Swastika is a racist symbol across an entire hemisphere of this planet. The Nazi flag, itself, isn't racist minus the Swastika - in fact, when people want to graphically portray a Nazi analogue without offending people, they usually just use the flag with the Swastika swapped out for something else. The fact that it isn't racist in, say, China doesn't mean it also isn't racist when spray painted on a synagogue.

    That's an intentional misrepresentation of what I wrote.

      I don't believe it is. This is what you wrote, verbatim: > While the Nazi flag may be a racist symbol, the Swastika, however, is not a racist symbol. You deliberately distinguished between the Nazi flag and the Swastika, an element incorporated into the Nazi flag, and claimed that between the two, only the flag was racist. And I'm merely pointing out that in the Western world the only part of the Nazi flag even considered racist is the Swastika.

        My original comment was in error. I had meant to write, "While the Nazi flag may believed to be a racist symbol, the Swastika, however, is not a racist symbol." The swastika symbol may exist in Chinese, but the word swastika is from another large country of people. Symbols are not racist, which is what should obviously be taken away from this.
