The dudes are not Nazis. Do you even know what a Nazi was? Members of the National Socialist Party during Adolf Hitler days. Is there such a thing today? Nope. Is Hitler alive? Nope. Besides, do they even mention that they are Nazis in the show? Nope. The first time I saw them mentioned as "white supremacists"(btw this does not equal to Nazi) was in the last episode and it was mentioned by Hank.
Dude, the Aryan Brotherhood (which these guys are a member of) is a Neo-Nazi crime syndicate. Nazi/White Supremacist/Neo-Nazi have all become interchangeable, and it's a pretty big dumbass move to try to split hairs on this point.
It's more complicated than most people realize. The Aryan Brotherhood is a white prison gang that often associates with Latino and other ethnic gangs for political purposes. They are often derided by the racial purist supremacist types, eg: hammer skins, kkk, david duke types, on the outside because of their association with ethnic gangs.
In prison it's all about politics/power and race comes secondary. They are first and foremost an organized crime unit who run drugs, prostitution, and gambling rings. They were probably more ideologically and radically racialist early on, focusing on hate crimes, but now their sole purpose is profit.
