https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jeopardy-contestants-controversial-hand-gesture-might-not-be-what-it-seems-065222783.html
Jeopardy! contestant Kelly Donohue made quite an impression during the player introductions on Tuesday. The three-day returning champion made a hand gesture that many viewers found offensive and racist. Fans took to Twitter to question and discuss the sentiment behind the gesture. Only now "The Jeopardy Fan!" has reversed course and said it WAS a white power signal! https://twitter.com/_thejeopardyfan/status/1387244555083337730 In the time since this was originally posted, further information has come to light. It is now my current opinion that the actions of Kelly Donohue on tonights episode of Jeopardy were no accident and that the previous actions were very likely for deniabilitys sake. This morning, Kelly posted a statement on Facebook. https://facebook.com/1603347/posts/10104000902760607/?d=n TLDR - Jeopardy contestant flashes a white power sign on his third win. Twitter explodes. Fan site says, "hold on, he was just showing his number of wins." Contestant opens his fat mouth on Facebook and fan site reverses course and says, "yikes, this guy probably actually is a fat racist." --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!

First glance at this, the dude is holding up his number of wins. Some people do three that way, in fact there was a whole part of Inglorious Bastards about the different ways people hold up three fingers.
That said, I want to know what "additional info" they found that made them SURE this dude is a racist. I'm guessing it's hidden in the linked Facebook post but the link doesn't go to anything for me.

Looking deeper at it, is it still the "racist ok symbol" if the circle is closed? His hand looks pretty close to his chest that it makes me think it wasn't an open circle.

Random deranged guy on twitter: 3 is a racist number actually4chan pretty much made a point to show that anything can be racist if you push it on racists hard enough. They started the trend that the OK sign was a new white power expression and low and behold, racists lapped it up.

If he'd held up three fingers in a way consistent with the first two times, nobody would be talking about it, but he completely changed which fingers he was counting on and tucked it into his chest like that. That makes it look a little suspicious.
Also, his two fingers gesture is quite rude in the UK but I doubt he or most of the show's audience knows about that. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Man I actually liked this guy too.
Now it also makes me wonder if he deliberately played himself off the show as well after he managed to pull it off. Dana was obviously really good and would have made a game of it regardless, but he was significantly shittier than either of his other 3 games and after he got the Daily Double wrong (which I have a hard time believing he didn't intentionally get wrong) he completely fell off the rails. --- ...

Is there anything left today that doesn't have the potential to be seen as offensive? It seems like every word and gesture has some hidden meaning. I mean, just look at Urban Dictionary. Type in any random word and it'll have some sexual connotation. This snowflake generation is out of control.

There's also a politics thread where I've been posting updates. I've got a headache now trying to keep all these people straight. The update is basically... I still don't know. A lot of stuff has been deleted by reddit mods. The guy who runs the fan twitter and the reddit seems to be convinced. Maybe Kelly had pro-Trump posts, maybe he didn't. I don't know.

A couple years ago they banned players from wagering numbers like $1488, of course these assholes took it as some kind of "oh really, well we'll show them" challenge. I guess now they're gonna have to make a rule that everyone has to stand perfectly still during the introductions too.
