If you thought memes were harmless, think again. After being sent a racist meme, one woman tracked down the alleged perpetrator and did all in her power to expose him.

Renee Bracey Sherman, 31, a reproductive rights activist, said she was awaiting a delayed flight in Washington, D.C. when she received an unusual notification on her laptop: a stranger named Jacob was attempting to share an image of Pepe the Frog with her via AirDrop, Apple's Bluetooth connectivity system.

In recent years, Pepe has transformed from an innocent cartoon character and meme into an Anti-Defamation League-certified hate symbol most often employed by self-proclaimed members of the 'alt-right.'

Bracey Sherman immediately recognized the meme, telling the Daily Dot that, 'As [...] a Black woman, I receive quite a bit of online harassment, and I’m pretty familiar with the Pepe meme as a symbol of hate for the so-called alt-right white supremacists.'

After receiving the unsettling notification, she posted a screenshot of Jacob's AirDrop request to her Twitter, saying, 'I have my Bluetooth on because I’m using my headphones, and White supremacist Jacob takes the opportunity to try to send me Pepe bulls***.'

'I want to wait for my four hour delayed flight in peace. I don’t want to look at your stupid f***ing racist meme, white supremacist Jacob,' she added.

Bracey Sherman was not prepared to let Jacob off the hook with a few tweets, however, and began searching for him throughout the airport. As reported by the Daily Dot, Bracey Sherman found a man with a MacBook sitting at the airport bar, and an application open on his computer noted that his name was Jacob.

Bracey Sherman said she was friendly with him at first, smiling and asking if his name was Jacob. After he allegedly confirmed his name and the fact that he had sent the meme, things became more aggressive.

Not sure: Apparently, when confronted, the man claimed not to know about the hateful connotations of the Pepe the Frog meme

'When asked why he sent it, he said he didn't know,' Bracey Sherman wrote on Twitter. 'And he doesn't know what the Pepe meme means. He can't figure out why I was mad.'

She proceeded to photograph Jacob and share images of a bearded man in a pink polo shirt to her Twitter account, which boasts more than 13,000 followers.

Immediately, her series of posts was met with both extreme support and harsh criticism. Many voiced support for Bracey Sherman and applauded both her courage for confronting him and speaking about doing so publicly.

'This is the most savage thing I have seen on twitter in a while and I want to take you out for a drink in DC just to congratulate you,' said one woman. Another man thanked Bracey Sherman for 'ripping him a new one,' and added that 'Nazis suck.'

In the other corner are those who feel Bracey Sherman is playing the 'victim,' and was in the wrong to verbally berate the man pictured.

'So you'd consider a meme harassment but cussing someone out while repeatedly taking their picture without consent not?' someone asked. 'Just because your offended doesn't mean you're right.'

Despite anyone who doubts her tale, Bracey Sherman is holding her ground. 'Racism is real, and this is one of the many ways it looks in the digital age,' she told the Daily Dot.

While the identity of the man photographed remains unclear, Bracey Sherman promises to fight back at anyone who treats her similarly with equal amounts of ferocity. 'White supremacists like Jacob, you're on notice,' she said. 'It might be giggles with buddies online, but I will cuss you the f*** out.'
