And even something as innocuous as a number or hand gesture can evolve to mean something bigoted in a given space or context, right? Like, you don't just live under a rock or anything, do you? By that logic pretty much anything any racist has ever expressed can be a racist symbol, and very little would remain that isn't considered racist. If we choose to behave like that, we're effectively allowing racists to dictate what symbols/gestures are racist. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. <cite>Aressar posted [p:968932986] in Numerology...
