Eggs, racial slurs thrown at University of Southern California student

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating an alleged racist incident at the University of Southern California after an undergraduate Asian student reported that someone yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, and hurled eggs.

USC’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) is also investigating the incident, according to Christian Gunning, associate vice president for University Relations.

A native of Hong Kong, Tsang took to Facebook to express his frustration and disappointment.

Racism against Asians is'nt nearly as bad as racism against Black and Latinos.
