A recent social media post has stirred controversy at Ithaca College.

A student at the school posted a video to the Snapchat platform in which she uses a racial slur.

“It was really disappointing; really shocking, but at the same time, not too shocking,” said student Diamond Defairia.

The video spread around the campus like wildfire. Some of the vocabulary left students at IC in awe.

“A lot of my friends were talking about it, and they were very upset about what they saw," April Carroll said.

Defairia said she knows the student who posted the video.

“There’s been people saying that they told her multiple times not to say the N-word, and she recorded herself saying the N-word with the hard 'R,' " said Defairia.

Both Defairia and Carroll agreed that this isn’t the school's first racist issue. Some, they say, go back years, even to when the two seniors were in their first year on campus.

“We had a bunch of incidents occur on campus when I was a freshman, and nobody was talking about it except POC at IC, which is an organization that started because of these incidents not being addressed," said Carroll.

Defairia remembers an incident involving a fraternity called "the hoods against the classies."

“The hood, you would have to dress in baggy wear and they participated in blackface, just trying to like emulate black people," Defairia said.

The Snapchat that was posted on Twitter was viewed by more than 27,000 people. The school did release a statement that said it condemns the use of the language used in the video and understands the hurt the community has felt.

“Having a conversation is good, but at the same time, I mean, if there [are] no repercussions, will people really understand the weight of their actions?" Carroll said.

“I don’t know what exactly they should do with her, but I just think calling her and educating her is not really enough," Defairia said.

According to the Ithacan, the student has apologized.

The open conversation is scheduled for noon on Tuesday inside the Campus Center.
