There’s at least one of those ‘dicks’ who not only can grasp the idea of the nazi salute but also seems to understand and perform the hand signal for White Supremacy. (First row center)
Inconsiderate and immature? yes, Ignorant to not knowing better? No.
Hello Mark,
As we all know, one thing to a person means something quite different to another. While there are those that say the "OK" hand gesture has some link as you state it, the upside down "OK" signal below the waist is actually intended as a game not a nazi salute:
About
The Circle Game is a game of peripheral vision, trickery and motor skills.[1] The game starts out when the Offensive Player creates a circle with their thumb and forefinger somewhere below his waist.[2] The goal is to trick another person into looking at his hand. If the victim looks at the hand, he has lost the game, and is subsequently hit on the bicep with a closed fist, by the offensive player. Online, people have begun hiding hands making the circle symbols in various images to trick people into finding it.
Origin
According to Vice,[3] the Circle Game was invented by Ohio resident Matt Nelson in the early 1980s. Nelson claims to have devised the game while in elementary school as a a way to punch his friends.
The game was popularized on November 15th, 2000 in the fourth episode of the television sitcom Malcom in the Middle's second season. In the episode, characters play the Circle Game, introducing to the show's millions of viewers.

If it were truly that gesture, I hope it haunts them whenever they go for a job interview or maybe run for office somewhere.
