Students Take Racist Comments and Spread Them all Over Campus
Some students at American University got so fed up with the racist comments they were reading on social media that they decided to spread them. They launched an online campaign, #TheRealAU, to blast out the racism they see, in hopes it will make it more difficult to ignore. They have been posting and sharing screenshots of slurs. They plastered them on the school’s front gates. And they are demanding that the administration do something.
