Right, because having black skin and having swastika tattoos are totally the same thing.
Both sides, many sides...
BTW, a business owner in the United States is legally permitted to refuse to serve someone with swastika tattoos because being a neo-Nazi isn't a protected class. The same business owner cannot legally refuse service to an African-American because race is a protected class.
