So the ok sign can't be used by white supremacists and still be used as intended as ok or (I am all right )

Dismissing the spread of the hand signal as a hoax overlooks two hard realities: first, that its increasing use gives open license to actual racist ideologues to operate and recruit under the cover of the “plausible deniability” established by less ideological young trolls; and second, that any kind of wink-and-nudge interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization.

1) Presumption of innocence.
2) The significant majority of people are not racists.
3) Why are you assisting a bunch of asshats in co-opting normal speech and symbology. You are doing their work for them. Eff 'em, I am reclaiming my OK sign.
