To the outrage industry, the OK hand sign is a racist symbol. To students it's a stunt to entice a fellow student to look at it then receive a punch. To everyone else it's an OK sign.
This latest plunge into the world of political correctness should wake us up to how powerful they think they are. It resulted in an official investigation -- Army, Navy determine football game gesture wasn’t racist sign -- and fortunately, the unlucky students who were playing the circle game escaped being labeled racist. (Not known whether anyone got a punch in the arm.)
But now we've lost an old fashioned OK signal. No longer will normals be able to use it without the risk of being branded as racist. What a shame.
It's political correctness gone wild. And it's the sort of overreach that will help Donald Trump get reelected.
