Is the iron cross a racist symbol?

Was it really rooted in nonconformism? I have always been given to believe that it was because early motorcycle clubs had a predominantly WWII-veteran membership, and that the German helmets, medals, and other accoutrements were war trophies – and for the generations that followed, just an established part of biker chic.

Like these guys?

The fact the cretins misuse or hijack the symbol is not relevant: the correct response is eduction of the mis-led.

I have to say, I don’t think Giant_Spongess is looking to go around wearing her jacket and lecturing people on the history and iconography of the Iron Cross.
