Another downward step on the ladder into the hysterical stupidity that grips our country.

Now they say that any anti-ANTIFA symbols or even just opposing ANTIFA at all is racist.

My guess is that sometime soon they will declare breathing air using your lungs to be racist, stay tuned and see! What a garbage organization.

In the race to the bottom is the SPLC or ADL leading?

They're in the same bed, so it's a shared position.

Universal Orlando actor fired after making 'OK' symbol in family's photo

A Universal Orlando actor was fired after flashing the “OK” hand sign in a photo taken with a biracial child.

Tiffiney Zinger told USA Today that an actor dressed as the movie character Gru from “Despicable Me” posed with her 6-year-old daughter, who is biracial and has autism, at a March character breakfast at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, a Universal hotel.

The mother said she didn’t notice until August that the character had posed for the photo by forming an upside-down “OK” symbol with his fingers, which was recently deemed a racist symbol by the Anti-Defamation League.

“I’ve been emotionally distraught about it. I’m still pretty upset that someone felt they needed to do this to children,” Ms. Zinger said. “It can cause emotional stress on my child and her development.”

The girl’s parents said they reached out to Universal a few days after discovering the video in August and that they were offered a gift card and free tickets.

A Universal Orlando Resort spokesman initially declined USA Today’s request for comment but later confirmed Tuesday that the actor had been fired.

“We never want our guests to experience what this family did,” Tom Schroder said in a statement. “This is not acceptable and we are sorry — and we are taking steps to make sure nothing like this happens again. We can’t discuss specifics about this incident, but we can confirm that the actor no longer works here. We remain in contact with the family and will work with them privately to make this right.”

Hand gestures do change over time. When I went to school in central California in the early 1970s, the encircled thumb/forefinger, but with the fingers pointing down, meant "suck my dick." (It was used as an insult, not a signal.) It varies by country as well. I have read that in Germany the OK sign means "you're an asshole." (I don't know the truth of this.) But that doesn't justify these silly-ass hysterics:

Zinger??? I wonder who got to her in her childhood.
