Ok, let's try an example in which this issue is further heightened. Would you be comfortable displaying a swastika in the western world today? That symbol didn't originate with the Nazis. Most people simply don't care about the origin.
Also I am not saying every use is racist or anything that extreme, but it is clear that in some instances there is a connection between this symbol and white supremacy.
- kazinator 6y agoThat symbol is associated with mass murder of millions and a world war. Previous to that, it was not a common, everyday symbol used in western culture. It's not a dumb little joke from 2017 from 4chan. The Nazis had a hand gesture: the raised arm Roman salute. You can use that salute today without being dubbed a supremacist or Nazi. Just maybe don't shout heil anything while doing it.
