Here's the trick... 
Symbols only have the meaning you give to them. If I see someone wearing two superimposed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down (commonly called the Star of David) I need to ask the next level of question:
Is this person wearing it because they are Jewish - and if so culturally Jewish or religious Jewish? Because they aren't Jewish but live in Israel or have an affinity for it in some way? Because they are a member of the Gangster Disciples? Is it a Shatkona?A Kagome crest? or just something that looks pretty? 
I knew someone who wore one because they could use it as a makeshift "brass knuckles" when she was walking home from the bar. 
Like other forms of communication, you have to look at the context and can't just assume the meaning is ___ without asking to confirm.

 Here’s a lexicon of hate symbols; it’s not all swastikas and lightning bolts.
