Ole Miss student apologizes after video shows monkey gestures toward Black roommates
An 18-year-old University of Mississippi student apologized after two Black freshmen confronted three white classmates who had made monkey noises and gestures outside their apartment; the apologizing student subsequently withdrew from the university while the investigation continues. The incident began when a Ring doorbell video posted on TikTok captured the white students making the gestures near a freshman’s apartment, prompting the university to open an investigation and condemn the behavior as unacceptable.
