Just yesterday, I read a May 2017 press release from the Anti-Defamation explaining that the “OK” sign has *not* been adopted by white-supremacist groups as a symbol of anything, and that claims that it has been are part of a hoax that originated (in February 2017) and was disseminated by 4chan members to troll liberals:

In that press release, the ADL mentions that the “OK” hoax was the more successful of two hoaxes perpetuated by 4chan users in February 2017, with the other one being “the concept that white supremacists were drinking milk to show “the superiority of the white race” and the “purity of white milk.”” Unbelievable, that feminist professor swallowed 4chan’s milk hoax hook, line and sinker, and even wrote a paper supporting the spurious claim. That woman should be run out of academia.

She’s gotta be a PETA vegan nut predisposed to believe anti-dairy conspiracy theories.
