Recently, students from Newport Harbor and Costa Mesa High School posted photos of themselves on the popular multimedia messaging app Snapchat playing beer pong with cups arranged in the shape of a swastika.
In January, a series of label featuring anti-Semitic and hate speech were discovered along McGuinness Boulevard in Brooklyn.
The hate symbols have particular residence for Greenpoint residents, as the NYC neighbourhood is commonly thought of as the heart of the city's Polish community. It is home to many Polish restaurants, markets, and businesses, and has often been referred to as Little Poland.
