The salute is not racist in itself. But since it is a representation of the Nazi regime, which stood for a racist ideology, doing it now invokes the feelings of anti-Semitism. Much like how the swastika is, in fact, an ancient Indian symbol representing life, its use now has been bastardized by Nazi Germany. The salute is not racist in itself.

How was the Nazi Salute founded?
The Nazi Salute has two origins, both of which are disputed at times.Number one: The most plausible theory:Adolf Hitler modelled the Nazi Salute after ancient Roman soldiers, who would jut their arms forward in the same way as a salute to their superiors.Number two: The other theory:Hitler took the fascist arm raise from Benito Mussolini (Commandant of the Italian Army), who invented it because he had a fear of handshaking.
What does Hile Hitler sign look like?
The Nazi salute is an extended arm with an open hand, raised enough to show the palm.
What group of people were persecuted by the Nazi's because they refused to salute flags or raise their arms to Heil Hitler and were marked with a purple triangle?
Jehovah's Witnesses
Why was the Nazi rule of Europe most ruthless?
Start of WW2. Kill people for no valid reason (racist). No democracy and accused others for something that has not done. (Burning Parliament was done by Nazi, but they accused the communists.)
Where did Adolf Hitler come from?
Heil is a form of greeting. So it was natural to use this term to greet Adolf Hitler. The Nazi stiff-arm salute that was used when saying this originated from the ole Roman salute. Hitler may have adopted this from his first visit with Mussolini in Italy.
