Hi, I’m going through Spanish 1, and one of the native speaker clips had the person standing against a wall with graffiti on it. Unfortunately, one of the pieces of graffiti partly visible was a swastika. The clip was for the phrase ‘¿estàs cansado?’

Yes, there are historical examples that do not involve Nazi. However, at this time, we live in a world that does include WWII. I can very much see the concern.
The issue is such that even in Asian countries, where the symbol is used to mark temples and the like, you still don’t see it outside of relatively old religious art. Even the cultures that used it before have reduced its use.
sorry, but do you find your reply “funky” or what? (this from someone with enough German blood in her veins, as to be really upset about any Nazi crap, although the grandparents were not involved, as at the time they smartly enough were in portugal and around …); I just wanted to say that maybe, maybe! given that dot visible on one of the arms of the symbol, just maaaybe… maybe it is not a “pro-nazitum” idiocy, maybe it is something else…

The dot looks like the head of a bolt though. It was likely there before the graffiti.
hm, maybe (i see a dot 
), but spaniards are not really known for their amour fou for the nazis, as fas as i know … (anyhow, i would not delete that video)
I am pretty sure that it can be fixed without deleting anything, assuming anyone has the time to do so.
So immature.
oh really? if a small hidden swastika which probably almost no one would have noticed is a reason for such a fuss you people have huge issues.
