Yea, the Klan thing is disarming when white people do it. As for Nazi's - they have been made fun of before as la Mel Brooks and Springtime for hitler But and in general, I think Nazi's should be avoided altogether as an outfit choice. Mammy, on the other hand, is different to me because Mammy was not the one persecuting, etc., like the Nazis and the Klan. But, that is my own line to draw I guess I remember I had a Mammy hand held fan and this black girl friend of mine was like "THAT IS SO RACIST" and I was like "IT IS A FAN" - interestingly, her boyfriend, who was black, thought it was hysterical - go figure
