Students at the same Ontario university where white students dressed up as Middle Eastern sheiks, Viet Cong guerrillas and Buddhist monks at a party in 2016 are apologizing after participating in a “coronavirus-themed” party this past weekend.

As first reported by the campus newspaper, the Queen’s University Journal, the party on Saturday involving students from Queen’s University in Kingston featured students wearing surgical face masks and drinking Corona beer in a room decorated with biohazard signs.

The Journal republished since-deleted Instagram photos from the party, including one captioned “infect me Daddy.” One of the students involved, who is also a part of the school’s student government structure, issued an apology on Facebook earlier this week.

“I attended a Corona party on Saturday February 1st 2020, this action was in poor taste and I apologize,” Tyler MacIntyre wrote in a post quoted by the Journal. “I am aware that my participation implicitly made light of a serious issue that affects many people, both inside and outside of the Queen’s university community.”
