Universal Studios Actor Made White Power Symbol in Photo Says Parents
An actor for Universal Studios was fired by the park after they made the white power “OK” symbol while posing in a photo with two children.
In the photo, the Zingers’ children, who are biracial, pose next to two characters from the Despicable Me franchise: a minion, and Gru. The Zingers’ daughter stands next to the Gru character, who has their right hand on her shoulder and is forming an upside-down “OK” sign with their fingers. Their two-year-old son stood in front of the minion character.
“It’s more than the ‘OK’ sign,” Richard told the outlet. “A lot of people don’t understand what that sign means.” The mother of two continued to tell the outlet that she has been “emotionally distraught” since the incident and that she’s “still pretty upset that someone felt they needed to do this to children.”
