The Ghost of Snapped Shot

The swastika is a very old symbol, originating in south Asia. I suspect another meaning.

BTW -- can you launch the linked pages in a popup or lightbox and not incur AP's wrath?

nazi swastika is different from the lucky version which was not canted like the Nazi one, also if I'm not mistaken the good luck one is a mirror image/reversed

Like the wiki page says, the swastika an ancient religious symbol with a long history prior to the Nazis.

While it is predominantly associated with Nazism in the US and Europe (and probably other places), I think much of Asia still views them within their own historical religious contexts. I remember being in Japan and seeing swastikas on several very old temples (don't remember if they were buddist or shinto or both). I was rather surprised at first, but the Japanese certainly saw their symbols as completely unaffiliated with Nazism.

The colors and style make me pretty sure that the emblem on the T-shirt was derived from the Nazi symbol. That doesn't mean that the wearer (or even the manufacturer) was aware of this. There's a huge gulf of cultural comprehension between Westerners and many Asians. Things that seem obvious to us can be head-scratchingly obscure to them, and vice versa.
