Second family claims Universal Studios costumed actor made racist OK hand gesture in photo with child
A second family has come forward to claim a costumed actor at Universal Studios made a racist hand gesture while posing for a photo with their child.
In 2019, a Colorado family went public with complaints that an actor dressed as Despicable Me character Gru made an upside-down OK hand gesture while posing with their 6-year-old daughter who is biracial and has autism.
According to the Anti-Defamation League and several other organizations, while still common as a gesture to convey assent or approval, the OK symbol has also been co-opted by white supremacists.
Following news reports of the photo, a Hispanic family from Florida reviewed photos of their own trip to Universal Studios and found a costumed actor dressed as Gru making the OK gesture in a photo with their 5-year-old daughter.

Can you believe this crap? This is a hoax invented by the left, so now anyone who touches their thumb with their index finger is now branded a "white supremacist".

Until one of these corporations decides that "enough is enough" and fights this crap, hopefully bankrupting the individuals that brought such a frivolous lawsuit, this will continue....

I’ve actually had to block George Takei’s leftist spam.

And it’s not surprising, given this sort of garbage, that Mel Brooks tells people that he would never be able to make a movie like “Blazing Saddles” in Hollyweird’s current climate.

Its only racists when white supremacists do it and a white supremacist is a white person who isnt a Democrat.
The same rule applies for white people wearing blackface makeup or leading the KKK. If you are a Democrat then it is OK.

Well, see, when you do it upside down, that’s when it’s racist.
Although Gru seems to be doing it sideways or horizontally...
