  A bit over a year ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29173357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29173357 linked to "Basingstoke 'It’s okay to be white' posters spark investigation" at https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-59179914 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-59179914 . > Posters saying "It's okay to be white" have sparked a police investigation. ... > Hampshire Constabulary was alerted to the posters by a resident on Thursday and said they were being treated as a "hate incident". ... > Resident Priya Brown said: "These tactics are divisive and they have no place in today's world. They're tactics that are used to divide deliberately by neo-Nazi groups and white supremacy groups. It started in the US but we have seen it here in the UK."

    So what's the interpretation? What does it mean?

      Have you read acdha's answer at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34940530 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34940530 ? That seems like a good summary of the non-naive interpretation. As my link shows, the UK police interpreted posting fliers of that phrase to be a "hate incident", and not the "innocuous phrase" of the naive interpretation. The description from that link is in lign with acdha's interpretation.
