88 also symbolizes fortune and good luck in Chinese culture, and is often used to sign off in Chinese language chats.
And the swastika used to be a Buddhist simbol, your point?
Not used to be. Still are. Symbols can represent a lot of things, and it's an ignorant person to assume that they MUST represent the bad one.
That's exactly what the Nazi's say. These two lighting bolts? It's nothing bro! I just like the number 88! 14 is my lucky number! Etc etc
See it's funny you say that. My neighbor had a pumpkin that I SWORE was two lightning bolts, til I looked at it properly and it was the KISS logo. And say what you want about being a KISS fan, it's a lot better than the conclusion that was initially reached. Benign explanations for things exist, and you have to look at more than a license plate to get an idea of someone's beliefs.
