(Portland, OR) -- A Reed College professor is facing backlash after a video on TikTok appears to show him making racist comments at a local business. Internet sleuths identified Paul Currie as the man seen in his car arguing with the person recording. During the video, Reed appears to be criticizing a business for hiring what he believes are "illegal immigrants." College officials acknowledge the video depicts a faculty member, and they are investigating to see if the person in question violated Reed guidelines.
