[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s an unfortunate accident and they should address it and apologize for the accidental offense. (There’s is actually a whole thing about accidentally creating a swastika pattern in quilts and I can imagine the crossword layout presents similar issues. Nevertheless, they shouldn’t ignore it!)

Jewish and agree it's probably an unfortunate accident but how in the heck did no one catch this - it's obvious on first glance.[/quote]

Anyone who sees a swastika in this crossword is just looking for something to be offended about.  It says more about you, if you see a swastika, than it does about the crossword.[/quote]

Sunday's tone-deaf puzzle debuted with a ton of criticism -- featuring a massive swastika in the dead center of the grid. The puzzle's designer described it as a simple "fun whirlpool shape," but obviously not everyone had the same thoughts.

Many blasted NYT for the antisemitic design -- regardless of whether or not it was intentional ... with one saying, "How did this get approved without somebody noticing?" and another noting, "A hidden Happy Chanukah message in today's @nytimes crossword?"

Of course, pp. We are the jerks for noticing.  :roll: [/quote]
