ALBANY — An Asian American student group is demanding the University at Albany investigate and reprimand students who attended a coronavirus-themed party last weekend.

The Asian American Alliance called the party unfunny and "completely insensitive" to the campus' community of Asian students.

"Diseases that affect non-white populations are radicalized in a way that stems from the innate xenophobia of American society," the organization wrote in an Instagram post. "It serves to dehumanize the affected population."

A video of the theme party was posted on Barstool Albany's Instagram page Sunday night, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported. The video has been deleted.

It showed a person wearing a surgical mask next to a bucket of Corona beers, according to WGY News Radio. In the background, a biohazard symbol and two faces were marked onto a white sheet. The caption on the video read, "Corona virus isn’t gonna stop anyone from partying."

The Asian American Alliance demanded the dean of students office investigate the students affiliated with the party and have them apologize.

The organization also asked university President Havidán Rodríguez' office to spread awareness about racism and harmful stereotypes against Asian students in the wake of the epidemic, which has been a nationwide issue. Lastly, the organization asked that the International Student and Scholar Office and Student Health Services provide physical and mental health services for Asian students.

In a statement, UAlbany said the party was held off-campus and not sanctioned by the administration. They also said students are held accountable to the student code of conduct on and off campus, and that the university investigates allegations of misconduct and addresses them "through the University's disciplinary process."

"The theme of this party was distasteful and hurtful and is not representative of UAlbany or its nearly 18,000 students," the statement read. "As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, it is critically important that we treat all people with dignity and respect."

There have been 75,748 confirmed cases of coronavirus in 26 countries as of Thursday, the World Health Organization reported, 74,675 of which are in China. So far, over 2,100 people have died from the virus.
