Change the title of this rating to "nazism", or "nazi" .The rating shows Hitler and a swastika, so it implies that the content of the post is related to nazism or to nazis but not necesserely to racism. Or make a new button related to racism and not to nazism. Nazism and racism are closely-related but they aren't the same things.2 different ratings will help people to recognize racists and nazis.
All racists aren't nazis but all nazis are racists.

On a side note it needs to be said that Hitler 'stache is truly a wihte man's mustache. Or at least white and middle eastern. Never seen a person of other race capable of pulling that mustache perfectly, the genetics just won't allow the mustache to grow enough to be able to be trimmed in that shape. (See Michael Jordan.)

Wait, that's a hitler? I always thought it was a little girl with black hair. Looks a lot like Lucy van Pelt to me.

No, seriously. I zoomed in in an image editor and my eyes did not indeed deceive me: It is Lucy van Pelt.

What is wrong with you people -- seeing a Nazi flag and immediately thinking it must be Hitler?

We just need a "Typical Codexer" button.

Your starting hypothesis is wrong, therefore you reach a wrong conclusion.
"Nazi" is not different from "racist" in the current climate, in fact it's not different from a whole lot of terms by now.
The most common meaning is as a loaded critic about the interlocutor's morality that translates as "I disagree with you on this specific tiny matter and since I am a liberal and righteous by definition this means you deserve physical destruction and erasure from the annals along with your family and in fact with your whole fucking white race as well".

It's not the only meaning of course but by far this is the most widely used by the loving souls of the left.
The Codex anyway was obviously ahead of its time and allowed early enough the use of the term as an eloquent rating with its entire spectrum of meanings, each of which is made entirely obvious to the readers as soon as the button gets pressed.

I have a better idea: don't change the racist rating, and instead add a stalin button that says "sexist".

There is no universal symbol for racism, so what would you replace it with?
