Even the most innocent symbol, logo, emblem on a ad or sign becomes a RACIST DOG WHISTLE.
It is hard to signal. A buddy had a contracting lumber firm with initials "Kxxxxxxx Kxxxxxxx Kxxxxxxx" for a long long time, acting like it was accidental.
I did something similar with a large company (not k k k , but something else) and only had two customers out of over 800,000 write angry letters and demand a refund. They got their refund with a generic :sorrry you were unsatisfied: letter. The two angry letters we POSTED ON THE WALL ! Taped up with pride. Only two triggered people brave enough to suspect our DOG WHISTLE
Dog Whistles now have to be 100% over the top to get noticed in 2020, no more subtlety , instead dog whistles are outright symbols :
1488 = 卐 = ϟϟ = # = milk = 👌 = 13/52 = We Wuz Kangs = Jews did 9/11
