I always knew Steph Curry was a white supremacist!
Klay Thompson as well. The Warriors are clear racists and need banned from the NBA!

You tell kids not to do something, they will do it
I saw the thread title and thought, "that's something my school would do".
Sure enough, that's where I went. Look at my username.
OPRF is a diverse and progressive school. They don't take certain things lightly.
I'm not surprised at all that they would spend 50k to be 100% certain they do NOT have a student putting out a racist symbol in the year book. Money well spent.
They have the money. Property taxes in Oak Park/River forest are extremely high.
What a bunch of Snowflakes

what is a yearbook?
yeah, okay, I know, it's a book, it has pics of all the kids in your class that year.
but no school I ever went to had a yearbook. I just asked the 37 kids in my afternoon practice if their school has a yearbook and they all said "no."
so what's it for? why do you even have a yearbook?
cheers.
I had no idea "okay" was now racist. Who knew?
OP is a crumbling inner ring suburb on the verge of collapse. No, they don't have the money, and no amount of poorly constructed high-rises will compensate for the money the current administration is hemorrhaging.
The tail is wagging the dog so hard in this country right now. You have like 16 people on Twitter and 4chan deciding the news. It is hilarious/terrifying.
Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, you have to see the danger in this. The media is no longer pretending to be honest. Who cares about the political slant, they are just in it for the followers/$$$.

What's funny is how much the girl in the photo resembles Anna Kasparian.
It's not necessarily racist. But it's not necessarily innocuous. Intent matters.
"In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters “wp,” for “white power.” 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.
In the case of the “okay” gesture, the hoax was so successful the symbol became a popular trolling tactic on the part of right-leaning individuals, who would often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the “okay” gesture.
Ironically, some white supremacists themselves soon also participated in such trolling tactics, lending an actual credence to those who labeled the trolling gesture as racist in nature. By 2019, at least some white supremacists seem to have abandoned the ironic or satiric intent behind the original trolling campaign and used the symbol as a sincere expression of white supremacy, such as when Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant flashed the symbol during a March 2019 courtroom appearance soon after his arrest for allegedly murdering 50 people in a shooting spree at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The overwhelming usage of the “okay” hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose as a gesture signifying assent or approval. As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or, especially, white supremacist context unless other contextual evidence exists to support the contention. Since 2017, many people have been falsely accused of being racist or white supremacist for using the “okay” gesture in its traditional and innocuous sense.
Other, similar-seeming hand gestures have also been mistakenly assumed to have white supremacist connotations as a result of the “okay” hoax. One of these is the so-called “Circle Game,” in which people attempt to trick each other into looking at an okay-like hand gesture made somewhere below the waist. Another is the hand sign of the Three Percenter movement, a wing of the anti-government extremist militia movement. Three Percenters, who are right-wing extremists but are not typically white supremacists, often make a hand gesture to symbolize their movement that uses the outstretched middle, ring, and pinky fingers to represent a Roman numeral “3.” This gesture, from certain angles, can often resemble an “okay” hand gesture and has been misinterpreted by some as a white supremacist symbol.
Because of the traditional meaning of the “okay” hand gesture, as well as other usages unrelated to white supremacy, particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture."
