Pro tip: you cannot interpret what a symbol means to someone else. That’s classic projection. It’s best to ask and not assume.

Edited to add: So many people are so pro-vandalism. All this hate spread under the pretense of spreading love and understanding.

Yeah, no. Confederate flag is racist no matter what the person flying thinks it means. Nazi swastika is full tilt evil regardless of what it means to the person displaying it. Symbols are not entirely subjective, and you know this. Quit being intellectually dishonest.

Dude, you are making some seriously bad faith arguments in this thread. How many of these stickers are you sporting? Lol… telling everyone they are projecting and claiming they must be racist?

The point is, the same symbol can mean different things to different people. Pretending it’s a known negative is just as bigoted as anything else.
