Personally, I don't think the symbol of the swastika on a coke product promotes anti-semitism or racism. Regardless of it being a different form or not.

Reminds me of a story here in MI... A school that was erected in I believe the 1880's had the symbol of an eagle and a swastika (reverse of the Nazi symbol) on their terrace floor. During a remodeling of the school some time later, a new set of flooring was placed over the old tiles or whatever was down at the time.
The Jewish community was up in arms about the Nazi symbol being uncovered in 1999 for about a week until they found out that there was more than one meaning to the swastika.

Coke pulled the product so it wouldn't offend people. I think it's a stupid decision because only "the fool" could take offense to a plastic coke bottle robot with non-chalant swastikas.
