Two families sued Universal Orlando for $30,000 after an actor dressed as the Disney character 'Gru' flashed a white-power hand gesture in two separate photos with young girls of color.
The lawsuit - filed in Orange County, Florida on June 23 - includes the photos from February and March 2019 with the 'Despicable Me' character making the 'OK' white-supremacist hand gesture in both photos.
One of the victims is a six-year-old biracial girl and the other victim is a five-year-old Hispanic girl.
'He openly and pointedly displayed towards them a universally-known and universally-used hate symbol that indicates white power,' the lawsuit says.
'This white power hand signal has become openly and widely used to express hatred towards a segment of the population based upon a person's race, color and national origin, and it has prevalently and commonly been known as a hate symbol for years.'
The Anti-Defamation League considered the 'OK' hand gesture a form of hate speech in 2017.
The six year old ran up to the actor dressed as Gru from one of her favorite movies 'Despicable Me' and asked for a picture in February 2019.
The actor put his arm around the young girl and made the hand gesture above her shoulder and let it linger, according to the lawsuit.
She wanted to show the picture to her classmates but her parents told her she couldn't because 'a man did a bad thing to her because he did not like her because of her race and color,' the lawsuit says.
A month later, 'Gru' did the same thing in a picture with a young Hispanic girl.
In both incidents, the lawsuit claims the character's handler or the park did nothing to stop it and are responsible.

Have you seen the video?
So the stupid of the world do not understand that the finger circle is the o of the word ok and the three potstretched remaining fingers represent the letter k?
Actually I think they just make things up in order to bully people
Ignore and laugh at them
“We all know how he died....but perhaps some of you haven’t seen the video tape.....Let’s take a look...”

Any lawyer who takes a case like this should be disbarred, and any judge that would hear such a case should be ‘defrocked’ and then disbarred.
OK - - - It took a few seconds.
Becuase the movie is owned by universal. Duh
Guess this is what confused me.
Thanks for your kind reply, though.
No, no, no! Eddie Murphy’s Buckwheat would be indicating OTAY, not OK…
Why is it that the “OK” sign has to be *presumed* to be a racist symbol when it could very well just mean “okay”. I still use it. After 60 years, habits can be hard to break.
Hey look! Another White Supremacist!

They (liberals) didn’t make this up. A group on Reddit or 8chan made it up as a prank to troll liberals.
The leftist media swallowed it hook line and sinker.

Jeez, I use the OK sign when my co workers ask me a question and I’m busy running the mower. I guess I should give some of the homeowners their money back since I use the OK hand sign on black, Asians and Hispanic property. I might have to triple the cost for WHITE HOMEOWNERS!! 😀
LOL!
Is it a prank, or a leftist tool to harm the right?
Thanks for both of those!
Funny schitt
This 4chan hoax (”Operation O-KKK”) was so useful to the left that they decided it should be treated as real.
