Very deliberate
It's a white hand raised over a hand of color. Nazi and white supremacy a twofer.

Have a tough time believing this was an accident.
Seems a fireable offense to me.
Oh, and the person the approver reports to should get axed, too.

Walmart has issued a statement after the company was criticized for selling a t-shirt and hoodie on its website that featured a graphic resembling a Nazi salute.
The t-shirt and hoodie featured a graphic that read Paper Beats Rock, with a raised flat palm towering over a clenched fist. After facing some criticism for the merch, the company issued an apology for hosting the third-party seller that produced the merch, per TMZ.
The two pieces have since been removed from the Walmart website.
We have zero tolerance for any prohibited or offensive products appearing on our marketplace, the statement read. The items in question were listed by a third-party seller and have been removed from our site for violating our prohibited products policy. When issues like this are identified, we act immediately to remove them and strengthen our systems to prevent a recurrence. The trust of our customers and the integrity of our platform remain paramount.
