Current Events > YR: you have accidentally used a racist hand gesture.

(+) Yeah! (+)

You are in the supermarket, when you notice that the zucchinis the worker just set out are among the ripest and most unmolested you have ever laid eyes upon. You grab your buggy and walk as briskly as you can toward the worker, a young woman who appears to be Asian or of Asian descent.

You drift the buggy around the corner (this isn't necessary but you do it because it makes you feel like you're going faster) and make a tires screeching sound as you come to a halt next to the worker.

"Sick zucchinis!" you cry out in glee, holding your hand up in expectation of a return high-five.

The worker in unimpressed. There is a deep fury in her eyes. Her lips curl into a sneer. "Listen here, bucko," she growls at you, "what kind of racist are you?"

Befuddled, you are left hanging. You stand there, with your hand in front of you, fingers proudly extended toward the heavens.

"He's doing the sign!" shouts an onlooker.

"It's the Anti Asian Women Alliance gesture!" screams another.

"That motion, used as a high five until approximately seven minutes ago, now represents a hatred of all Asian women thanks to an image uploaded to Reddit depicting members of the AAWA offering the gesture out to the viewer, as if an offer to join their ranks through the irresistible camaraderie of the high five!" cries a third.

Though you are grateful for the exposition, you are now in quite the predicament. There are no fewer than half a dozen angry patrons looking to in expectation of either an explanation or fisticuffs. You must choose your next action carefully.

I mostly just wanted to make a hypothetical with the word "bucko" in it.

I submit myself to the proper authorities for my bucko behavior.
