When you see it as a racist symbol, you are supporting one jerk's use of it (hitler/swastika) and further continuing to give him credit for it. It's NOT just his symbol. It is a design element, especially used in architecture for wings of a building. It creates a solid structure that way, nothing to do with racism. Nothing.
Now quit being so racist by giving credit to racists. Learning is good.

Yeah, yeah, ancient peace symbol, blah, blah blah makes for a solid structure, whatever... I found buildings shaped like swastika and thought it was amusing and wanted to share it.
As far as giving the hitler and the nazi party credit for the swastika, he did a much better job at branding it than anyone else so he get's the prize.
