What did you think of X-Men First Class' Swastika Intro?

The movie as a whole is clearly anti-Nazi, though. The X-men are sort of a 1960s reflection of the Jewish population in the movie. They're different and they fear persecution. Magneto has lived through that persecution as a Jew, and so he's more cognizant of the threat. He keeps the Swastika coin to remind him of how cruel people like the Nazis can be. None of this is at all offensive.
