A family is shaken and looking for answers after they say a Universal Orlando actor displayed a hateful gesture in a vacation photo and video.
Tiffiney Zinger said it was painful telling her daughter she couldn't use a family vacation photo for her second grade class project – the image was marred by what appeared to be a symbol of hate.
Tiffiney Zinger, who is black, and her husband, Richard Zinger, who is white, traveled with their daughter, who is now 7, and her younger brother from Colorado to Orlando, where they own a home. In the 29-second clip, Zinger's daughter is being directed to stand by the Gru character. As she excitedly walks toward him, he gestures for her to stand to his side. The Gru character first places his hand behind her shoulder. Then, the character moves his right hand on top of her shoulder and curls his thumb and index finger into a clearly visible"OK" symbol. The gesture has become a symbol of concern because it has been used by white supremacists and other far-right extremists.
Beirich says they like to"photobomb" images with hate symbols and then share them online as an inside joke or prank. However, since the hand gesture has many different meanings, Beirich says context is key and it's difficult to pinpoint a hate symbol if there isn't information about the person who's doing it.
