For some 'fun' just search for 'is x racist'. What o-word are you referring to, ordinary? ok?

I assumed "oriental"?

Makes perfect sense, thanks. I don't remember the last time I heard anyone say that so it didn't come to mind.

no, the poster was still talking about "okay". they were doing a joke by calling it the o-word because the hand gesture is a hate symbol now

Ooohhh. That makes sense. :) Thanks for explaining it.

I never use the “okay” hand gesture, I had no idea it was controversial now.

Its a fairly common flavor of instant noodles.
