Utah High School Cheerleaders Scream N-Word On Instagram Video

A video posted on Instagram, which featured five high school girls screaming racial slurs and profanity, caught the attention of school administers late Monday, according to a report by Desert News.

The girls in the video were identified as cheerleaders who attend Weber High School, located in Pleasant View, Utah. The video was shared on Twitter Monday, with the caption, "I thought people were better than this, especially my so-called 'friends.'" All five of the girls within the video take turns screaming, "f--- n------." The post amassed 2,000 retweets.

The Twitter user who shared the video goes by the username WarriorTy7, and is a football player at Weber High School. Many have taken to Twitter to show their support to the high school football player, including an offensive tackle for the Los Angeles Chargers, Chris Hairston.

Hairston tweeted, "Keep ya head up Ty," in response to the video.

Weber School District announced further investigations to occur Tuesday when students in the video can be spoken directly to. It is not clear where and when the video took place.

"We're still trying to figure out the origin of the video, what's being said," Weber School District spokesman Lane Findlay said. "Obviously it's circulating on social media and you have people that are contacting us with concerns about it, and rightfully so."

This is not the first time areas within Utah have received scrutiny for being racially insensitive. "Purge and Purify" Halloween decor on a local's house in Roy, Utah sparked a frenzy on Facebook and Twitter Thursday.

A study released by the FBI in 2013 concluded that Utah reported more hate crimes than any other states with a history of hate crimes, according to a report by KTVX.

"Frankly, Utah doesn't fight hate crimes very efficiently, we're not very good at stopping hate crimes," said Jim Dabakis, member of the senate in Salt Lake City, in an interview.
