If you want to show that those attitudes are anomalous, you're going to have to bring something other than standard CYA disclaimer boilerplate. That NY Post link seems like a non sequitur. I don't think it's a stretch to describe the "OK" sign as a "white power finger gesture" when the person making it is wearing a Trump visor and shouting "white lives matter". And I don't see how the noose is ambiguous, either — what do you think a noose is if not a loop of rope hung from somewhere?

No I don't, the burden of evidence is on you. The opinion of one guy in a group of 14k is only that one guys opinion by default. The link demonstrates the guy is outspoken. I can easily find racist comments on HN - it doesn't prove anything about other posters. Because OK is otherwise a common and totally neutral gesture, infact it only became a symbol of "white power" after essentially a hoax to that effect: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ok-sign-white-power-supremacy-alt-right-4chan-trolling-hoax-a9249846.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ok-sign-wh... > what do you think a noose is if not a loop of rope hung from somewhere? I think it's a rope knotted in a specific way to tighten when pulled. Being "the shape of a noose" is irrelevant unless it bears this quality. I have loops of string/rope all over the place, none of them are nooses.
