Posters were found by University of Delaware campus police which read, “It’s okay to be white.”

They were discovered in a number of locations.

And the Anti-Defamation League says they appear to be part of a trolling campaign started by 4chan users.

The University issued a statement saying that the campaign is an effort to pit people against one another.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that many students were unaware of the posters but told the paper that such a message is not welcome on campus.

The ADL says that since 2016 there have been 216 such white supremacist campaigns on campuses in 44 states including Delaware.
