Racism subtler than video, Texas A&M students say

Tagged: ,

“Race relations on the campus, where 74 percent of undergraduates are white, have become a big topic since a video posted on YouTube showed a white Aggie in blackface, chomping a banana and begging mercy from his “master.”

As word got around, administrators responded swiftly. A&M President Robert Gates strongly condemned the video in several campus-wide communications, and the three students who made the video have withdrawn from the university. The video was removed from YouTube.”
