Swastika and vile racist slur scrawled in red lipstick on student's chest

A university has launched an investigation after a student was photographed with a swastika and a racial slur written across his chest.

The student, unnamed, refused to apologise for the incident, saying he had "no control over what was written". He said the offensive slurs and imagery were drawn during a drinking game when a woman, believed to be the student's girlfriend, was asked to "write the most offensive thing possible".

The University of Central Lancashire, where he studies, is now investigating the incident after a photo emerged showing the student with a swastika and "I HATE N****S" written in red lipstick across his chest. The university said it was taking the investigation "very seriously", Wales Online reported.
