Original Note:
The "OK" hand symbol was co-opted by 4chan users in 2017 in an attempt to troll leftists by pretending it was a racist symbol meaning "White power". However, because the sign is now used by actual white supremacists to communicate, dismissing its use as a joke is misleading https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/how-ok-symbol-became-popular-trolling-gesture
