Is the Iron Cross a racist symbol in the Rock and Metal community?

In the 60s, maybe even earlier, Many biker groups started to adopt the Iron Cross as part of their symbolism, and the main reason was to add a sort of shock factor to their image. Afterall, if the public were going to look down on them anyway, why not go all out and try to piss them off as much as you possibly could. It was a way of saying “I don’t care what you think of me, I live the way I want to live” and of course some bikers wanted to strike fear into people so what better way than to wear the symbol of an evil power from world war 2.

The iron cross just naturally found its way into the Metal community over time. With the music sounding aggressive, it made sense for bands to look aggressive and what better way to do that than to mimic the style of outlaw bikers. And it worked.

Many bands over the years have donned an Iron Cross, most famously Lemmy of Motorhead and even James Hetfield has one on a guitar he uses live. So does the Iron Cross represent any sort of racism as well?
