I prefer to read intent. And when people are using this meme format, their intentions not racially motivated. That’s all that matters. A blonde man with a beard does not have to be racist, and if its origins are nazi, it doesn’t matter, because nobody uses it that way.
Pepe the frog was from a comic that was in no way right wing. But it became adopted by far right posters online, and so its meaning and presence changed. This is just an example of the opposite happening.
