Two students at the University of Oklahoma (OU) have been implicated in a racist video that has students, school administrators and even sorority officials outraged.
In the video, a white woman wearing blackface and black paint on her hands says, I am a [n-word]. As the offensive words are uttered, another white woman at her side engages in some raucous laughter.
I could never imagine being so insensitive especially in a time when its obviously not okay, youre an adult, you know right from wrong, sophomore Sofia Olivas told local NBC affiliate KFOR.
Other students registered their disapproval as well.
As a woman of color, Im hurt by the whole thing, senior Janae Reeves said.
It doesnt make sense to me as a human being why they would think that kind of behavior is okay, junior Marisa Nuzzo told the outlet.

of what they most value if they make such videos or are videotaped while doing such disgusting and idiotic things?
