I didn’t know that all scuba divers, everywhere, were racist.

You are spot on. He is not making any kind of gesture to the camera.

The "OK" Symbol is a hand gesture typically used to signal that "all is well." The symbol has been frequently associated with supporters of the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump , https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ok-symbol-👌

Oops, I didn’t realize that several of you had posted those photos individually, before I posted my composite one.

This is the result of some outstanding meme work. You see, literally everything is White Supreemist, including the “okay” sign.

I have no idea what a white power symbol is. And I’m white.

But that’s not the “Okay” symbol.
It is the “Otay” symbol.

The insanity brought on my liberalism knows no bounds.
This case is just another classic example.
And we’re supposed to coexist with these stupid POSs? I don’t think so.

"He was putting his ear piece in/adjusting as you said. You can see it between his fingers. Poor guy, he probably did not even know what he was supposed to have done wrong."
Yep. When he glanced up towards the guy being interviewed, it probably jostled his earpiece a little, and he was readjusting it. When he adjusted the earpiece, he wasn't even looking at the camera, it lasted about a second, and he probably didn't even know he was on camera, since he was sitting down and the guy being interviewed was standing up.
This is arguably the craziest example of leftist paranoia I've ever heard about.
To: Drew68
There’s no clear consensus whether the “OK” hand gesture constitutes a hate symbol. While it has been adopted by some fringe far-right figures, it has also been commonly used by many Trump supporters. and probably used at one time or another by anyone born before 2001. How can we let "them" take something so pervasive in our culture, so benign in meaning for countless decades, and suddenly make it a symbol of hate???
Heck, even my cellphone suggests the ok hand sign as an emoji when I type "ok" in a text message. Does that make me racis? Is my phone racis? WTF
