- Her family’s dealership group has faced earlier racism complaints.

## Summary

Alaina Kunes, an 18-year-old Ole Miss student identified in a video making racist monkey noises and gestures outside Black students’ apartment, apologised on Tuesday. The incident has also drawn scrutiny to her family’s Wisconsin car dealership business, which has faced earlier complaints about racist conduct.

Kunes said she had not met the three women before the 6 November incident and did not know their race, while acknowledging that her actions were insensitive and harmful. She said she had apologised to them and that she and her family had received harassment and death threats after she was identified online. Kunes Auto Group operates dealerships in four Midwest states and was previously criticised over a racial slur on a Black customer’s service sticker and an apparently racist text from a salesman.
