"Use of the okay symbol in most contexts is entirely innocuous and harmless," the ADL stated.
The ADL admits that users of the 4chan website pulled off a hoax in 2017 by tricking people into believing that the "OK" symbol was a hate symbol.
"The 'okay' gesture hoax was merely the latest in a series of similar 4chan hoaxes using various innocuous symbols; in each case, the hoaxers hoped that the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist," the ADL reported.
