Minnesota Teen Scared to Comeback to School After Being Taunted by Fellow Student She’d Exposed for Posting a Racist Video
A Minnesota teen said earlier this week after a now-viral showed a fellow student at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minnesota participating in racist behavior that targeted her and her sister Elizabeth Sigin.
“I’m at a loss of words for what they’ve done,” Nya Sigin said.
“It was just the most disgusting thing I’ve ever witness in my entire life,” the freshman high school student told KSTP of one of the many videos that were shared on social media, including one where the student encouraged Nya to end her life while spewing racist slurs directed at her. “I was feeling I was confused. I didn’t really know what I had done to even deserve it.”
The sisters said the incident started when a girl, who hasn’t been identified, recorded a video of herself attacking a pillow that had the N-word inscribed on it. “She beat up the pillow while calling the pillow racial slurs, pretending as if the pillow was a Black person,” her sister Elizabeth, a senior said.
Nya said a classmate shared the video with her earlier this week, telling the news station that when she initially “saw the video, I hadn’t really processed everything that was going on.” she added, “I was hearing the words but yesterday I was in my counselor’s office, and I was really talking about it to them, and that’s when it all really hit me and how personal it was to me. That was just really hard because I just had this wave of emotions.”
