Avatar Letters Spell a Slur

Text on the meme

Out of deep solidarity and respect for the high crime rate American community, me and other low crime rate Americans are changing our avatar to "N" for "no more police" please join us in solidarity I'm changing mine to I, for "I can't breathe" ✊🏾 With my avatar I choose to honor George Floyd. With my avatar I say Get rid of all these racist police I made mine an E, for "Equality for all!" I decided to make my profile image an R, to symbolize the reparations white people owe us

What it means

A fake Twitter thread shows users changing their profile avatars to letters that appear to spell a racial slur. The joke parodies performative online solidarity and exposes how the supposedly progressive messages combine into an offensive word.

Who

George Floyd (Джордж Флойд)
