As a Jew I find this kind of material offensive. I am educated on the history of the swastika and its Buddhist origins, but it has been forever tainted by history. This shirt is not starting a dialog about symbols, or culture or anything. There are certain subjects that you just can't take lightly and this is one of them. Why cant designers just come up with a cool design like the old days and stop relying on text and offensive material to sell shirts.

It actually faces the other way, so it isn't a swastika. Plus the skull has bunny ears... it’s a Manji, a buddhist symbol. It actually faces the other way, so it isn’t a swastika.
