Race relations on the Kansas State University campus have been strained this week after two white former students posted a Snapchat photo of themselves appearing to wear blackface and captioned with a racial epithet.
Paige Shoemaker has since apologized via Facebook for the photo, which went viral and was featured on several national websites. She said the image wasn’t meant to be taken in “derogatory way,” and that she and Sadie Meier were simply wearing facial mud masks.
