A video showing seven giggling teenage girls shouting a racial epithet has sparked outrage among many Torrance, California residents, CBS Los Angeles reports.
"It really hurt me first seeing that it was an African American leading them on to say it, which makes everybody think that it's OK," said South High School junior Jayla Lewis.
While the racist video was recorded five years ago, it resurfaced on social media and is being reposted and going viral among students at South High School in Torrance.
