## Summary

Two Black University of Mississippi freshmen say they confronted classmates after a door camera recorded women making monkey noises and gestures outside their apartment. They say one woman apologised, while another continued the gestures, making the encounter feel like a further insult.

The incident was recorded on 6 November at about 8.37pm. Alaina Kunes, 18, has publicly apologised and left the university, saying her family received death threats; she said the actions were insensitive and harmful, though not intended to target anyone because of their race. The other two women have not been publicly identified, and the university says it is investigating.
