Hmmm, I wonder if you can you make AD using custard instead of milk? Take one for the team mate!

The OK hand sign has been added to a list of hate symbols.

The finger-and-thumb gesture - which is also a popular emoji - is being used by some as a "sincere expression of white supremacy", according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

But the US anti-hate group says the "overwhelming usage" of the hand gesture today is still to show approval or that someone is OK.

Therefore "particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture".

Interesting that you seem more annoyed with "woke madness" than the white supremacists that have appropriated the gesture.

White supremacists have little or no effect on my life but woke madness does and increasingly so. I'd prefer to not accept its a white power thing rather than empower the fuckers by recognising it as "theirs".
