Why would it be a joke? Physical gestures have just as much ability to carry meaning as words do. One notable example is Tommie Smith and John Carlos' Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics in protest of Black oppression, for which they were ostracized after the games. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_sa...
When the "white power" symbol looks exactly like the "O.K." symbol, it seems like it's best not to jump to conclusions. I'm not fond of the alt right, but it's not fair to jump from "alt-right" to merely assuming people are racist. It's a serious accusation and people ought to be given the benefit of the doubt.
