  ADL make a list that explains what obscure symbols a very small number of people use, possibly ironically, and promote it via their website to turn it into a more powerful hate symbol.

  The Roman salute used by Italy and Germany and the Bellamy salute used by Americans were similar but not exactly the same. Americans possibly created the Nazi salute’s use as a hate symbol by changing their own salute to be different and then showing people using either of the original salutes as Nazis in propaganda.

      I mean, no. There is a huge history of slavery in Europe. Who do you think was involved in the Atlantic slave trade?

      And it is not about sensitivity. It is a hateful word to use. You clearly knew there was an issue using it based on context, but you decided to don’t anyhow. We could have got the same context by just saying, " you won’t name your dog a racial slur ike your grandpa did etc."

      In the future, just don’t use it
