California Hospital Workers Discover Hanging Doll Painted With Racial Slur And Black Face | Law enforcement and hospital officials are investigating what seems to be a racially-motivated attack at Kaiser Hospital Riverside in California. Kaiser employee Xavier Fields discovered a doll hanging by its neck in an employee-only section of the building on Wednesday. The doll’s face was painted black, and a racial slur was written across its chest. NBC Southern California reports that the attack was aimed at Black employees of the Hospital’s IT department. “It’s somebody who works within. It’s a locked area. You don’t go back there,” Fields told NBC.
