A troubling incident of racism came to light at Lancaster University when Sa’ad Mustafa, a 25-year-old student, shared his harrowing experience of being forced to pay for a replacement door after it was defaced with a racist slur.
Racist Graffiti Targets Student
Sa’ad reveals in the video that someone had written a disgraceful racial slur on his door, along with the words, “Dead Mum,” in a shocking revelation that has sent the internet into a frenzy.
A Courageous Act
Sa’ad bravely reported the incident in July 2018 while pursuing his Management and IT degree at Lancaster University.
University’s Shocking Response
The incident itself occurred in February of the same year, but instead of receiving the support and empathy he deserved, Sa’ad was met with a dismissive and deeply troubling response from the university.
Evicted for Being Racially Abused
Sa’ad found himself evicted from his room as a result of the incident!
Financial Loss After Incident
To add insult to injury, he was also charged for the replacement door and the new accommodation.
The Stress Caused Was Anyone’s Nightmare
Sa’ad expresses the stress that this financial burden put on his shoulders as he questions the university and the police’s way of handling the situation.
Investigation Dropped
Sa’ad’s hopes of justice were shattered when the investigation was dropped after just two weeks.
Demanding an Apology
To make matters even more bewildering, Sa’ad was told that he needed to offer an apology if he wished to continue his studies.
A Warning for Others
In a courageous act of speaking out, Sa’ad has shared his experience in a viral video, issuing a cautionary warning to individuals of colour considering attending Lancaster University.
A Willingness to Help
Despite the mistreatment, Sa’ad expresses a genuine desire to assist the university in addressing the issue of racism on campus.
He even offers to take on a paid role to actively contribute to positive change within the institution.
TikTok Users React
“I’m sorry you experienced this, this is a horrifying experience no-one should have to go through…I hope Lancaster uni do better in the future!” One user tells Sa’ad in an act of defiance.
“This is unacceptable. Sorry you had to go through that man,” another user reacted.
