University students have celebrated the start of exams with a "politically incorrect" themed party at a pub in Wagga Wagga, with some attendees dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan and another in blackface.
The image shows five people in KKK costumes standing behind a man in blackface - his whole body painted - apparently trying to resemble a slave picking cotton.
News spread fast on social media after an Indigenous man shared a screenshot of the image on Facebook on Thursday, commenting in disbelief.
"Wow. I went to school with these so-called university educated losers... They need kicking out of university. Is this what they teach them out there", he said in the post.
The incident may have involved students from Charles Sturt University.
"Charles Sturt University (CSU) will not tolerate this offensive behaviour. It does not reflect our university values and we strongly condemn these actions," a university spokesperson told NITV News.
