Racist graffiti found on wall at University of Iowa library

Ugh

The University of Iowa is investigating after racist graffiti was found scrawled on a library wall at the school.

The graffiti included a crude outline of the state of Iowa inside a rough outline of Africa. The word “Nigeria” - misspelled to include a racial slur - was written above the drawing. Someone posted a photo of it Wednesday on Twitter, and the university responded with its own tweet.
