Does the general public recognize the celtic cross as a racist symbol? I know certain organizations do, but they're purposely anti-racist.   I ask because I would love to be able to wear a celtic cross, but I don't want it to affect my future, especially considering that I'm still in school (scholarships, academic groups, etc..) Your average Joe Schmo pedestrian won't recognize the Celtic Cross as a racist symbol I don't think. Even if they do see me wear the symbol and assume I must be a racist I have a good excuse because I'm predominantly of Irish descent, I can just say oh I didn't know WN groups use that symbol, had no idea, I just use it because I'm mostly Irish:cool:
