He's from Asia where the number 8 have a good luck meaning, so is likely is not related to the 88 neo nazis uses.

    same reasoning would justify the use of swastika for an indian living in Germany

    good luck working that out

    It absolutely justifies Indians using the swastika. They didn't agree to the nazis stealing their culture, that had existed for thousands of years, to use as their logo. Don't be racist.

    looks like it's even more complicated than i did assume โ˜ž https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_(Germanic_Iron_Age)

    this has nothing to do with race, i was making an analogy. I'm neither in/from Germany, nor in/from India. I just happen to know this:

    The German and Austrian postwar criminal code makes the public showing of the swastika, the sig rune, the Celtic cross (specifically the variations used by white power activists), the wolfsangel, the odal rune and the Totenkopf skull illegal, except for certain enumerated exemptions.

    I'd buy that if he didn't start his statement with "I live in Switzerland." 8 may be a lucky number for him, but he absolutely knows what 88 means.

    He can be both from Asia and still live in Switzerland
