A Swastika was used as a "good luck" symbol since ~3000 BC, in both Asia and Northern Europe. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_(Germanic_Iron_Age))

While i personally don't take offense at seeing a Swastika "out of context", i know many people do. This however is the first I've heard of people taking offense because of a red top hat, but i guess that's what today's society has come down to. It's almost like people are looking for things that offend them.
