GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WNCN) — A post from a Wayne County schools principal has been spread online and is getting backlash for being a “racist response” to the shooting at UNC-Chapel Hill on Monday.

In the post to her personal Facebook where she identified herself as a “mad mamma,” principal of Spring Creek High School, Wendy Waters, shared just six sentences.

“There is nothing WHITE about him,” she said as part of the post alongside a photo of Tailei Qi, the man accused of fatally shooting an associate professor on UNC’s campus Monday. The post continued to say “My bet is he’s a Chinese Nationalist.”

The Facebook post by Waters was shared to a thread on Reddit which has seen more than 700 reactions in 10 hours. This thread was titled by its poster, “School Principal’s racist response to UNC shooting.”

In a statement from Wayne County schools, the district said Waters’ comments “do not reflect the views of the school district” and that the matter is now under review.
