Students at the University of Mississippi were interviewed after a video captured on a Ring camera showed a group of women making racist gestures in a dorm room.

The footage, which was posted online, was recorded by a security camera installed in the common area of the residence hall where the students live. The clip shows the women performing slanted gestures that many viewers identified as racially offensive.

Those who share the dorm room with the perpetrators described the incident as shocking and deeply unsettling. They said the video has left them feeling unsafe and concerned about the campus climate.

In a sit‑down with reporter Jericka Duncan, the students spoke about the ordeal, explaining how the incident has affected their daily lives and their sense of community on campus.

The University of Mississippi, commonly known as Ole Miss, has faced a number of controversies over racism in recent years, and this incident has reignited calls for stronger measures to protect students from hate‑based behaviour.
