23. I disagree
Can you think of any second meaning for a swastika? Do you know of any people who are German who just claim it as a symbol of Germany? No because they have a different national flag.
In contrast, there a thousands if not millions of southerners who see the confederate flag strictly as a symbol of their region. People from the south are very proud of its regional cultural distinctions from other parts of the country. Many people like having a symbol of independence and distinction. It is not related to racist attitudes in any way for a huge number of people.
That is not something that can be said of the symbol of the NAZI party. Particularly since it has been adopted by modern white supremacists.
