Identity Evropa on Campus Once Again

The white supremacist group known as “Identity Evropa” interrupted an ethnic studies class at UC San Diego, according to the Jan. 11 UCSD Police Department logs. One member sat in the front of the class and another sat toward the back.

The group announced it was only there to “observe” and left after a good amount of time had passed in the class. Some students thought the members were messaging each other on their phones and were worried more members were being called to the class.

After leaving the ethnic studies class, the members reportedly headed to the Black Resource Center in the original Student Center. It is also unclear what their intent was in doing this.

Both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, non-profit organizations which track radical groups, recognize Identity Evropa as a hate group that advocates white supremacy. The SPLC notes that Identity Evropa often operates under the guise of “pseudo-intellectualism” to attract young college students
