When I was eight years old, my third grade art class had us make something out of felt and paper. I made a race car that looked a lot like the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard. Except I changed the logo on the door. I had been watching a lot of Indian Jones movies and I replaced the rebel flag with the Nazi Swastika. My parents were notified and I'm sure it looked bad considering my father is german. But it was Indian Jones' fault, I swear.

That is fantastic. I'd like to see the reaction as you made that. "Oh look he's making a car. Wait is that the car from Dukes of Hazard? Ugh I hope he doesn't put a Confederate Flag on it, I don't want to have that conversation...Oh it looks like he's putting something else...fuck is that a swastika?!? WTF?!?!? What sort of racist is he?"
