Lyft Driver’s Buddhist Swastika Mistaken for Nazi Symbol by Passengers

A misunderstanding occurred when passengers refused to get into their Lyft driver's car after mistaking a Buddhist swastika peace sign for a Nazi symbol. The passengers insisted that they wouldn't enter the vehicle until the driver removed the symbol, which they believed represented Nazi ideology. The swastika, in many Eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, is a symbol of peace and prosperity, but its association with Nazism in the West often leads to confusion. This incident highlights the cultural misunderstandings that can arise from symbols with different historical contexts.
