At An Army Base In Alaska There's Such A Thing As 'Racial Thursdays': What's This Practice?

The U.S. Army's base in Alaska allegedly has a "Racial Thursday" practice, where soldiers are permitted to use slurs against each other.

The unit that takes part in the weekly "Racial Thursday" event belongs to the 25th Infantry Division's 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team in Fort Wainwright, Alaska.

The weekly event apparently encourages soldiers to use racial slurs, and the practice is now being investigated by the U.S. Army. The soldiers who participate belong to the 2nd Platoon, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment.
