This is news to me, and while the ADL Does recognize it COULD be used in harmful demeaning way, does not mean the meme in its entirety is.
"However, because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist."
Context is key, and the meme itself by nature IS NOT the mascot of racist groups. IT IS when coupled with bigoted, demeaning, and offensive language and symbols.
Again, I state, Context is key, is most anything.
Troll face is also recognized as a hate symbol by the ADL, but again only in context.
