Cornell students using Trayvon as a racial slur
Sophomore student Beverly Fonkwo was walking home with her friend when a group from the fraternity groups house began to throw items at them. When Fonkwo and her friend asked them to stop twice, Fonkwo said the group continued to toss the objects and responded by saying, Come up here, Trayvon and other racial comments.
I feel like it was targeted and racially motivated, we felt very threatened, Fonkwo told the Daily Sun. Meanwhile, the assailants were just laughing at the whole situation until we called the police and then they ran inside.
