I am surprised at the number of people excusing this.
Me too. It's amazing to me how hard people will work to avoid saying that something is wrong. So many people would prefer to live in a gray area where they don't have to choose a side, and think it's ok to go through life occupying a "space" where things that one were immediate dealbreakers now are ok somehow.

Mod cut.

Score another one for the little head.

Well, you KNEW she had to be "really pretty" or else he would have run out at the first sight of a freaking swastika.

Agree to all of this, but especially the bolded.

Sometimes, things are just wrong, period. Unless, of course, you (general you) feel that there is nothing wrong with the symbol. And if that is the case, just be a woman/man about it and say so, ya know?

I can't imagine waiting that long - even if 'that long' is the next time he sees her.
She and he undress and he sees it - talk about a major disruption...
When in doubt, ASK... And, no matter what her explanation is, if it IS as it appeared, get out of that 'relationship' YESTERDAY!

You do know he could just have a little fun for awhile without marrying her or staying with her long term, right? Guys will overlook a lot for a beautiful woman.

Exactly, why not? She is probably hot and sexy and the guy does not have to marry her or even have a long lasting relationship if he finds that she has offensive views and is really a closet Nazi. As long as he does not lie to her about his intentions, I don't see a big issue...

Out of the blue she asked if you had dated a Jewish girl?

Regardless of what religions or cultures have used the swastika in the past, the Nazi's use of the symbol has supplanted it's original meaning. In Western culture it was once a good luck symbol and you'd find it on any number of designs. But this was all before the usage of it by the Nazi's.

It's unlikely to the point of impossible to believe that someone tattooed a swastika on their body with anything else in mind other than the Nazis.

I'd be out the door the minute I saw such a thing.

This kind of thinking is further proof that there really is a "least common denominator."

Hot and sexy? Sure, if you can get some, who cares if she is a NAZI.

You're assuming they aren't of the same mind. They may be Nazis as well This one is better looking than the ugly Nazis they've had to pick from. For some, it may be a question of attractive or unattractive, the ethics and character part is the common denominator.
