    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.
