It should probably be taken down if you find it offensive.
However, I will point something out. The swastika, as the nazis named it, is actually a symbol of good luck that has been around for many hundreds of years, this is why Hitler chose it to begin with. It was originally created and used by many ancient asian civilizations and religions. It is actually also the chinese character for "buddhism" or "eternity".
Nazis don't exist anymore and white supremacists are just idiots. Just remember that the negative part is only a symbol of a dead regime. The only true meaning of it is what it has always been.
Just something to think about. No reason to let a geometric shape offend you...it's just lines and angles...nothing more. I encourage you to look up the symbology of it sometime.

I am well aware of what it used to symbolize a thousand years ago but I doubt that's what he had in mind.

Yes Hippie, that's correct, and even though it may be a good luck symbol, it can still be offensive towards other members, so when a mod can, get it removed please.
