A pair of Arizona State University students have unleashed a nine minute diatribe after they were disciplined for taunting two white male students who entered the college's multicultural space.
On Monday, Mastaani Qureshi, an undergraduate and Sarra Tekola a graduate student posted a video on social media alleging ASU had carried out an investigation into their actions and called for them to write a three-page paper.
In the video posted in response to the University's punishment Qureshi and Tekola claim the investigation into their actions was 'racially biased' adding they were 'forced to confront these men', because, in their view, the ASU faculty allegedly refused to answer their cries for help.
'Dear White People, A.K.A. ASU — You openly discriminated against us on November 16 when you handed down your decision from your racially biased investigation,' Qureshi said.
'We're being persecuted for defending our multicultural center from racism and sexism … ASU is a violent place.'

In September 2021, the women filmed themselves rounding on the two white men who they claim were taunting them by wearing an anti-Biden shirt, toting a Chick-Fil-A cup, and using a laptop with a pro-police sticker.
Qureshi and Tekola have now lashed out after they were punished for taking it upon themselves to ask the white students to leave for what they claim was 'racist' and 'offensive' stickers and a t-shirt.
In their latest video, they condemned being ordered to write up how 'next time, when they talk with white people about race and society they will be civil' and to reflect on how they might deal with a similar situation in the future and 'facilitate a civil dialogue' about the purposes of a multicultural space.

In its ruling the university wrote that to the pair that it 'expects that such dialogues will be both respectful toward other parties and mindful of the setting in which they occur.
'In this instance, the confrontation captured on video was not respectful dialogue, and its heated nature in an enclosed space where numerous other students were studying caused disruption to their activities as well as to the previously quiet study activities of the students who you confronted.'
Despite their penalty it was clear from their response on Instagram the pair did not agree with the university's findings and are unlikely to write a paper on how they might respond in the future.
'ASU does not recognize the difference between equity and equality and refuses to center the most marginalized,' Tekola ranted. Equality means offering everyone the same opportunity, while equity - which has been co-opted by woke campaigners in recent years - means ensuring everyone achieves the same outcome.
Tekola then spoke up arguing asking 'students of color' to be more civil in the face of alleged 'white supremacy and neo-Nazism' is 'actually violent.'
The pair also claim to have been on the receiving end of 'rape, death and lynching threats' on social media
