Bigotry at it's worst. You think that by doing that you're doing the right thing because nazi's killed hundreds of thousands of people but in reality you're wrong because you're doing what they did on a much smaller, trivial scale.
Perhaps I am bigoted towards the symbol and those non Indo-Asians that defend it use in some claim to defend its original meanings.
The entire western world has a view of the symbol now and those that defend its use do so knowing that fact.
Calling someone who has an issue with its use a bigot is a poor defense of their position and ignores the fact that most view it as offensive.
My trivial scale of linking the symbol to the nazi party is hardly as offensive as attempts to encourage acceptance of it's use in the west and much less worthy of questioning ones motives why.
