I absolutely refuse to purchase a Tesla because I am anti-Elon Musk and what he stands for. But I saw the cutest vintage VW van for sale and was interested, but then I looked up the history of Volkswagen and it's literally a Nazi vehicle manufacturer. Do any of you have qualms about buying Volkswagens, and what is the general reputation of VW? As people of color especially, do any of you have reservations about the brand and is it generally unacceptable for us to purchase them?

I get that a lot of brands may have roots in racism, fascism, and other historical atrocities, so we can't avoid everything, but if possible do you all avoid purchasing ones you know that definitely have sordid pasts?
