This thread is interesting but also crazy.

As for symbols...

My email has "saltire" in it because it is the name for the flag of Scotland, and I have Scottish ancestors...and I am very very far from a racist. So, it really depends on who is using something, and what they are using it for.

The Nazis turned a symbol into a symbol for hate, yet many places you go in Asia still have that symbol prominently featured.

It's about how you use a symbol, and whether you are intentionally trying to hurt someone.

Now, that does NOT mean you go around saying the N word to Black people and mean it "with love", because you are directly engaging that individual with a term that his considered hateful.

Does that make any sense?
