Omigod, for those who don’t know, the “OK sign = racism” was a 4chan _troll_ created to ridicule political correctness.

Some lefty groups fell for it.

There is nothing too crazy for these paranoid power freaks!

"A Universal Orlando actor was fired after flashing the “OK” hand sign in a photo taken with a biracial child."

I don't understand. What is it supposed to mean these days? How is it grounds for dismissal?

I wonder if you can get suspended or banned from social media these days for flashing the OK sign? The Left has taken over the language.

And now some group or groups with no legislative power can make a decree that must be obeyed be all governments, businesses, and persons, both nationally and internationally, that specific forms of free speech are prohibited? Dann. Who would have thunk it?

The OK sigh was used in Viet Nam by prostitutes. I am supposing similar meaning here.

Some moron said it meant White Supremacy since the three-finger up form a “W”......

To 99.99999% of the world, it means OK.....

But cause some dipsh*t on social media decided this was what it meant, the rest of the world must comply...
