The celebration of a cake emblazoned with George Floyd’s portrait during a birthday party sparked outrage, highlighting indifference to racial injustice among some law students.
Participants laughed and repeated 'I can't breathe', trivializing George Floyd's murder and the significant issues surrounding systemic racism ignited by his death.
Abigail Escobar Razo, a student at the party, expressed regret for not intervening, stating, 'I accept that I am to blame for not having put a stop to his birthday party'.
The viral video of the incident triggered widespread indignation, especially because those involved are upper-class law students from a respected university.
