Are We All White Supremacists Now? Scuba Divers Might Be Screwed
Ah, the blissful world of scuba diving. A serene underwater ballet where the only sounds are the gentle bubbles of exhaled air and the distant clicking of marine life. Since Jacques Cousteau gifted us the freedom to explore the depths with his invention of scuba diving, we’ve relied on a simple, universally understood hand gesture to communicate underwater: the “OK” sign. This trusty gesture has signaled countless divers through potentially perilous situations with a simple question, “Are you OK?”
But hold your breath, fellow divers, because the world has officially lost its marbles. In today’s reality-twisting, logic-defying cultural climate, this benign, life-saving signal is now under scrutiny. Yes, you heard it right. The “OK” sign, which we’ve all used to confirm our dive buddy’s wellbeing, is being rebranded by the outrage machine as a symbol of white supremacy.
Forget the fact that human speech is impossible underwater, making these gestures essential. Forget the fact that divers of all races, nationalities, and backgrounds have been using this sign for decades without a hitch. No, apparently, we’ve all been unconsciously promoting hate. How did we get here? Well, because a few trolls decided to hijack a harmless gesture on the internet, and suddenly it’s a headline-grabbing controversy.
Imagine this: you’re 30 meters deep, the visibility is perfect, and you spot a mesmerizing school of fish. You turn to your dive buddy to share the moment and, out of habit, flash the “OK” sign. But wait! Are you now signaling something sinister? Will the dive police rise from the abyss to reprimand you for what was, just moments ago, a gesture of safety and camaraderie?
The madness doesn’t stop there. We are now expected to navigate these cultural landmines in every facet of life, even in the depths of the ocean. Should we develop a new hand signal? Perhaps a jazz hand flourish, or a complicated underwater semaphore? Or maybe we should just carry waterproof tablets to write out our messages.
It’s time to recognize the insanity. The “OK” sign is just that—a sign that everything is fine. Divers aren’t plotting world domination; they’re simply trying to avoid becoming fish food. The waters are murky enough without this additional layer of absurdity.
So, let’s take a deep breath, exhale, and use a bit of common sense. Underwater, when a diver asks if you’re “OK,” they’re genuinely concerned about your safety—not signaling some nefarious agenda. Let’s leave the “woke” debates on land and keep our underwater adventures sane and safe.
And to all my fellow divers: stay safe, stay smart, and don’t let the absurdity surface with you. The water is our sanctuary—let’s not let the madness of the surface world pollute it
