If I wear those small jewish hats that go on top your head head would that offend jews
or If I wear a swaztika in front of rednecks would that offend white people?

You are referring to a yarmulke (ya-mic-ah).
Non-jews are asked to wear them inside Jewish temples and at certain Jewish ceremonies. Thus, wearing one in front of a Jew is showing respect for his culture.
A Swaztika, the broken cross, is the symbol of Nazi Germany. It is not a symbol of white people, nor of "rednecks," as you describe. It may offend white people, black people, brown people, etc. It will even offend Germans.

I think that you should not do something unless you know about it. The hats that the Jewish people wear are symbolic and should not be wore by someone who does not understand its meaning, as well as the swaztika

Swaztikas should offend everyone. Even when worn the right way, it will always be associated with brutal, racial, ethinic murder.
A Yamika...it isn't very fashionable and you may offend some Jews and fashion designers BUT if you must....

How about a big 'L' in the middle of your forehead.
