Utah State Office of the Governor
Viral video footage of several Utah teens wearing prison uniforms and blackface for Halloween has drawn widespread condemnation on social media, with the state’s governor even joining in to slam their actions.
“We strongly condemn racism in all its forms and we call on every Utahn to reject such offensive stereotypes, slurs and attitudes,” Cox told The Daily Beast in a statement. “We must do better.”
The video was originally uploaded to TikTok by @thebrownestsugar, but was later shared by user Karessa Pitcher on Twitter.
