Signs that read “It’s okay to be white” were posted around Florida Gulf Coast University’s campus overnight, stirring up conversation with students

Some students did not understand what the sign was for, while others feared it would trigger tensions, Fox 4 reports.

A picture of the signs were posted to social media, showing two signs tapped to building doors.

"They thought it was funny to just kind of put it up," one student said to Fox 4. "It wasn't supposed to mean anything," he added.
