‘Ku Klux Karen’: Auburn Black Student Union reportedly shared list of white racial slurs

A list of 250 racial slurs for white people was reportedly disseminated in a group chat for members and associates of Auburn’s Black Student Union as they purportedly shared their favorite phrases.

A whistleblower from the BSU sent the list to Turning Point USA, a conservative advocacy group on college campuses, because they were “tired of the blatant anti-white racism shown in the left and decided to take a stand,” according to a post on the organization’s website.

Auburn student Jaden Heard told 1819 News that the whistleblower provided the list to him — a Google document titled “Creaker Names.” Creaker is slang for an old white man.

“My favorite is the vanilla villager,” one purported member said in the GroupMe chat, according to screenshots posted on 1819 News.

“Milk Monkies gone always make me laugh,” wrote another, who punctuated the remark with a crying laughing emoji.

Other terms on the list include “unedited Google document,” “Ku Klux Karen,” and “mayosapiens.”

A commenter on the Turning Point USA post said the GroupMe chat was not a BSU group chat and that Heard is not a BSU member.

Heard told 1819 News that the chat included BSU alumni, members and members of the BSU executive committee.

In a statement to Turning Point USA, Auburn University said it was aware of the document.

“On Tuesday afternoon, Auburn University was made aware of a GroupMe chat that used discriminatory language that is allegedly being circulated among some students. The university is committed to providing a working and academic environment that is free from discrimination and harassment and works to foster a nurturing community founded upon the fundamental dignity and worth of all its members. The university prohibits harassment of its students and employees as outlined in our Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment,” a university spokesperson said.

“The university takes these matters very seriously and the alleged behavior does not represent the values of Auburn University,” the spokesperson continued. “The appropriate administrators are examining the issue and considering appropriate actions. This matter will be treated in the same manner with which any issue of discrimination or harassment is addressed.”
