I assume anyone flying a swastika is antisemitic, when to be fair, they might just be a fan of the Nazi stance on affordable housing and infrastructure.

Or they're Hindu and it's got nothing to do with Nazis at all.

That mostly depends on the angle and the location of the swastika

Also this is a rare case where the color of the skin may be a hint as to the interpretation of the flag.

Yes, that's sorta why I picked that example. It's a symbol that's been used in other contexts and is almost entirely associated with a specific negative use case.

If you see a guy walking around with a swastika arm band, do you really think "oh, look at that man showing pride in his Hindu beliefs”?

If they're dressed in Hindu garb, sure. I wouldn't assume they're a Nazi then. Granted it's not what we're likely to see.
