The University of Virginia (UVA) in Charlottesville scrambled to defuse a brewing race row after one of their students was filmed berating her white peers for occupying the center and making her feel uneasy.
After grabbing everyone's attention, she said: 'If you all didn't know, this is an MSC and frankly there's are just too many white people in here. 'This is a space for people of color, so just be really cognizant of the space you're taking up because it does make some of us POCs feel uncomfortable when we see too many white people in here.'
The clip quickly became viral on social media, with many tweeting the student's attempts to turf white people out of the space was racist.
