Stuart and Rhoden have since apologized, with some noting the irony of 'diversity and inclusion' activists rushing to such false conclusions.
But Rhoden also sought to double down on his initial allegation, and speculated as to whether Hunter may have used cosmetic products to make his skin appear darker.

But Lassen and Rhoden decided to take umbrage with Hunter's skin-tone, after mistaking him for a white man in a racist outfit according to the Arizona Daily Independent.

It’s so simple. What are we?
It’s not rocket surgery!
This is all quite funny except just how much money is the university paying for these two worthless clowns. Actually, worthless would be a step up. They’re a net negative.
Perfect "educators".

I think those are the guys at the used car lot where I bought my car it died two days later.
Ha! What makes you think they could do a job like that competently? These sorts of people are worthless at everything.
Democrats are so whacked that they now complain about a BLACK GUY being in BLACK FACE.
