Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : Obligatory apology for formatting, I’m on mobile. 

So for context my sister is passionate about politics, she leans left, and always advocates for me to get involved in voting and stuff like that. She keeps up with a lot of political news, and all that jazz. I lean left, but am not as involved in politics as her. Every time I go to see her she brings something up out of nowhere, trying to lecture me about the current events. I’m at the point where I just nod and smile.

Now I guess we’ve gotten to the point where the ok sign means white power to some people. I know it’s a 4chan prank to I just tend to ignore that and continue to harmlessly prank my friends by drawing their innocent eyes to my goin area and making an okay symbol. I know it’s immature but it still gets a laugh (or a slight puff of air from the nose) out of all parties involved every now and again. 

Recently I went to my girlfriends sorority formal with her, and she had me take lots of pictures with her, as is tradition. So I thought I’d slip the prank sign in one or two photos. The night ended, I posted the photos of us and at least one with the hand sign in it. Later on my sister texted me. The following part of the conversation. I’ll be me, she’ll be S

S: White power symbol on your Facebook?????

Me(already knowing where this convo is going): you should look up 4chan (in retrospect that was mean of me)

S: I’m aware of it

Me: Then you should know they fabricated the rumor that the universally accepted 👌 does not in fact have ties with white power, no matter how many people want to get offended by it

S: So you did it knowing what the perception of it is? Because perception is reality. You don’t get to define what something means to everyone. 

Me: Do you think I’m racist?

S: It is no longer “universally accepted”.  Bottom line. 
S: Do you think you’re *not* a racist?

Me: That’s not what I asked, do you think I’m racist?

S: That’s my answer. You don’t discuss anything with me. It’s “too political”. 

At this point I went on a rant about how thinking I’m racist because of this photo is ridiculous. And told her where I stand politically, leaning more left, but I think the two party system is awful. I brought up how she randomly injects our interactions with politics every time I see here, and said how I don’t like it. I feel like it was a bit harsh but I was annoyed she made these baseless accusations because of a photo of the ok sign, which now in her mind means white power. So am I the asshole for her accusing me of being racist for doing a simple hand jester, which to most means nothing but okay?
