CREATED. STUDENTS WITH A “DID NOT VOTE FOR BIDEN” T-SHIRT AND A POLICE

LIVES MATTER STICKER ON THEIR LAPTOP, WERE RECORDED BY STUDENTS WHO

ASKED THEM TO LEAVE BECAUSE THEY WERE MAKING PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE.

THE VIRAL VIDEO HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY RIGHT-WING SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

THAT CITE THE INCIDENT AS ANTI-WHITE AND DISCRIMINATORY TOWARD THE MALES.

THE BLACK WOMEN IN THE VIDEO HAVE SINCE RECEIVED DEATH THREATS AND

CALLS FOR EXPULSION. ASU ANNOUNCED THEY ARE INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT.

WHITE MEN BROUGHT A BLUE LIVES MATTER STICKER INTO A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE

OF COLOR ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAFE. SHE SAYS THAT STUDENTS RECEIVING

DEATH THREATS OVER THE INCIDENT IS CRUEL AND UNNECESSARY.
