The footage depicts the three teens wearing blackface along with a young woman outfitted in a police costume, all of whom were scolded for being racist by the person apparently filming, who is off-camera.“We strongly condemn racism in all its forms and we call on every Utahn to reject such offensive stereotypes, slurs and attitudes,” the governor said in a prepared statement. “We must do better.
Ludlow said the department is working with area school resource officers to determine if any of the teens involved were students at local schools. Ludlow said that even if the youths are identified, it is not clear that they will be arrested or charged with a crime. Despite separate reports on social media that at least one teen attended an Alpine School District school, district officials said such assertions are inaccurate.
In the video, the person apparently filming can be heard saying, “You guys are never going to get into a college, you guys are not going to get any scholarships, because this is a hate crime.”“We all dropped out of high school, it’s OK,” one of the youths responds while off-screen.
