[Update 11/21/12 8:15pm EST: YouTube has removed the video as a violation of policy that prohibits hate speech.

According to the YouTube description of this video the two stars of this terribly racist blackface rant are University of Minnesota Duluth students.

The two young women go through a variety of stereotypes in the 5-minute video—they touch on gangs and gun violence, slavery, fried chicken, collard greens, apes… the list goes on.

According to the university’s website,11,806 students were enrolled in the Fall 2011 semester. 1.2 percent or 139 of them are black.

The percentage of blacks in the Duluth community is just slightly higher at 2 percent

Both women in the video, Rachel Cooper and Jessica Heid, responded to the video.

“We were doing facials and it happened to have been a brown facial mask,” Cooper said in an email. “We had to leave it on for 12 minutes. During that 12 minutes, we horribly decided to make a video that we regret and are not happy about. This was made over a year ago..

Perhaps the University should contact Ohio University’s student group “Students Teaching About Racism in Society” to license the image below and put it all over campus.

“You wear the costume for one night, I wear the stigma for Life this is still not right!”
