Leaving the swastika in the hands of the Nazis is the worst disservice we can do to the Indians of North, Central and South America. Moreover, it is offensive to the people of Tibet, Nepal, China, India and Japan. It is disrespectful to the Basque, the French, the Irish, the Ashanti, the Ethiopians, the Iranians, the Jordanians, the Sicilians, the Estonians, the Latvians, the Finnish and many other peoples around the world.
