Some Burger King restaurants give out free cardboard crowns. The promotional give-away has become a contextual hate symbol after an individual wearing a paper Burger King Crown was ejected from an October 2020 flight after shouting racial slurs at a Black passenger. The crown has since been used online as a semi-ironic symbol of praise for one’s hateful rhetoric, particularly in the context of anti-Black racism. It is often paired with other symbols like the skull mask or Pit Viper sunglasses.
