Screenshots show Mr. Kashuv and other students used a Google Doc study guide as a chat of sorts, with several of them editing the document simultaneously and commenting on each other’s remarks. Mr. Kashuv went back and tried to delete his comments later, according to the student who posted the video with the screenshots on Twitter, but they proved to be recoverable. The student who posted the video did not respond to requests for comment on Monday.
One screenshot shows Mr. Kashuv using a racial slur for African-Americans more than a dozen times.
“like im really good at typing” the slur, he wrote. “ok like practice uhhhhhh makes perfect son??!!”
In a different screenshot of a text message, Mr. Kashuv allegedly also used the slur to refer to black student athletes.
The Google Doc comments were made late at night as the students tried to outdo each other with outrageous remarks, Mr. Kashuv said in the interview on Monday, describing himself as thoughtless and immature at the time.
“In the same document, I said a bunch of anti-Semitic stuff,” he acknowledged. “That’s not who I am. My parents are Jewish. I’m Jewish. I go to synagogue every single week now — I’ve been going the past few weeks.”
