LOS ANGELES (KCAL/CNN) – A final exam question is causing controversy at California State University at Long Beach.
Some say the question was racist and had no place in a health science class.
Students have finals on their minds.
But one student is questioning a question on his test: "Which of the following gangs generally do the least graffiti? a - Black, b - Asian, c - Hispanic, d - White."
The student posted a picture of the question on Twitter and wrote "a taste of the kind of idiocy I've been dealing with in my health science education class. This is a question on my final exam..."
He also wrote in red "when i tell you i hate my Thursday night class, this is why."
The student came across the question in a take-home final exam for a health science class meant for those studying to become middle and high school teachers.
The student reportedly said he doesn't remember going over anything about gangs in class and found the question offensive.
A university spokesperson sent us this statement: "We appreciate this situation being called to our attention and have begun an investigation. The campus takes these allegations seriously. We will provide additional information when we have reached a resolution."
So far, neither the student who posted the question nor the instructor of the class have made any comment about the situation.
