On December 1, an estimated 400 Tigard High School students marched out of class to protest the video and hate speech, the Paw reported.
An apparent video of the protest, posted to TikTok on December 1, shows huge crowds of students holding signs and walking around outside and through a building.
Tigard High School's Principal, Brian Bailey, wrote in an email to staff members and the student body on November 30 that there would be efforts "to address the individuals who have caused harm and equally as important, to provide spaces and resources to those who have been harmed by this careless act," according to the Paw.
Bailey and Tigard High School didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment on Friday.
The incident follows two similar ones at other schools this year.
In November, students at Massachusetts' Quincy High School walked out after a racist student video surfaced online, according to NBC Boston. Students from a high school in Minnesota and nearby schools also protested in November after two students posted a video on social media with a racial slur that targeted a 14-year-old student, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
