A former Minnesota high school student filed suit against her alma mater for allowing a Homecoming week event called "Wigger Day", where white students "mimicked black culture", the Huffington Post reported.
Quera Pruitt, a former student at Red Wing High School in Red Wing, Minn. and one of a few enrolled African Americans there, claimed the 2009 event caused her extreme humiliation and depression and made her consider dropping out of school in the lawsuit filed last week.
"Wigger" is a derogative term for a white person who emulates aspects of popular black culture.
Administrators insisted that the day was not officially sanctioned and that students dressed inappropriately that year were sent home to change, the Post reported.
But without further punishment, Pruitt's attorney, Joshua Williams, said students felt empowered to continue their bigotry.
"These students were not disciplined," Williams told the website. "They were not counseled and they were not punished. This could have been a teachable moment."
WTF! Wigger day! I Didn't Even Know They Had A Wigger Day! That's some racist sh!t!
