Can someone please provide a list of symbols, words, and numbers that make me an Asian Nazi White Supremacist? I recently learned the number 1488 is bad because of the White Supremacist bible verse or something. Hitler's favorite number? I don't remember.

Kind of a scary world we live in now where so many people are looking for what amounts to a lynching.

Be careful out there. An unaware gesture, a common phrase, a facial expression.......

Anything now can turn your life upside down.
Firing him is illegal race discrimination. I hope he can get a fair shake in the California courts.

Had to look this up...apparently there are hundreds of these around...just from looking at the first page of symbols, I'd better clean up my resume: apparently the years I graduated from High School and College are on the list - wouldn't want to be seen as another Asian White Supremacist, afterall...

Jsut when you think it cannot get more absurd, oh wait, it will get even worse;

A Mexican-American cracking his knuckles, but in doing this, he makes a gesture that looks similar to an online trolling meme that the "OK" sign is a white power sign, and gets fired for this.

Good god, a fiction writer could not even come up with such stuff.

Divers beware, better change your "OK" signs, lol.

Now I expect people will scan through the history of everyone to see at any point they did the "OK" sign, then launch accusations of racism.

They said they conducted interviews. Fellow employees?

Maybe this guy wasn't liked within and they used it to axe him.

He seemed perfectly nice in that interview...well...for being the Grand Wizard of the KKK's Chicano chapter.
Well, we should all be happy the KKK is becoming more diverse, inclusive? lol

While I don't agree with some knucklehead advocating "white power" (why the hell can't people get along and just accept people for who the hell they are?), it is their right to do so.

However, any business has the right to terminate someone who harbors such sentiments as well. Extremist views are not good for business; if I was a business owner, I would not want my employees engaging in political/racial expressions or signs on or off the job. People will avoid such places and it can have a severe negative economic impact.
