You’re making a straw man argument. You set up an unrealistic scenario of someone being called a racist for showing the OK sign. In reality, most people are willing to have a conversation to understand why people think a certain way.
Your scenario comes across as justifying supposedly “neutral” statements like “it’s ok to be white” when the person that said it fully knows the context in which they’re saying it.
It’s social media. People really like to hit the “fuck you” button and not discuss anything.
You have to put yourself in their position though. If they commented anything and didn’t just casually dismiss, that would mean they’d have to think. Thinking is hard. Don’t do that to them.
Edit: They also really hate having the above pointed out, but never argue with it.
What’s up with people not explaining their point? Which part, boss?
