US varsity student expelled for racism
A WHITE student is expelled after proudly sharing details on social media about how she contaminated her black roommate’s belongings.
Buzzfeed has reported that Brianna Brochu, a Connecticut student now faces charges of intimidation based on bigotry or bias for contaminating the belongings of her roommate Chennel Rowe.
The former first year student had been trying to get rid of Rowe for six weeks by infecting her toiletries with bodily fluids including used tampons.
Brochu announced her “victory” in a now deleted Instagram caption, telling her followers that her plan to get rid of “Jamaican Barbie” had finally worked:
“After one and a half months spitting in her coconut oil, putting mouldy clam dip in her lotions, rubbing used tampons on her backpack, putting her toothbrush places where the sun doesn’t shine, and so much more, I can finally say goodbye to Jamaican Barbie,” the caption read. Then she took it a step further by unashamedly sharing more pictures of her vile acts on her private Instagram account.
According to Buzzfeed, Brochu turned herself in to the West Hartford Police Department over the weekend. Meanwhile, Rowe’s candid live Facebook video has gone viral.
In this video, Jazzy (as she’s affectionately known) explains how she experienced throat pain a month after moving in and discovered Brochu’s bodily fluids in and around her belongings shortly after.
The hashtag #JusticeForJazzy has since spread on social media to show support for Rowe who has now moved to a different room.
And back in Mzansi, it was just last week when two University of Pretoria (TUKS) female students made news for a racist rant also shared on social media.

The video of Catherine Reynders and Bodene Benade repeatedly shouting “f**** k**f***s” was shared accidently on their physiotherapy Whatsapp group and made its way straight to Twitter from there.
If the k-word is readily available in your lexicon when you’ve had a few drinks, it surely means you use that type of language to refer to black people on a regular basis. — AFP
