Symbols can have different meanings for different groups of people


An okay symbol can also mean a three pointer, or in the President’s retweet, a *wink* to white power.

Nazis also reused a symbol that was previously innocuous. But once it had been used for evil, it became associated with that evil. The okay symbol is now associated with the evil in New Zealand, and anyone using it as a troll is using it in a racist manner.
