Bullshit. Words hurt to exactly the extent you allow them to. You're not powerless against words, and frankly if the words of a stranger or internet troll carry any weight with you emotionally, then you're the one with the problem.

I guess you don't understand that it's possible to sincerely believe in a hypocritical ideology.

"Unlike PCP, who disingenuously takes up various causes as a way to fit in and make himself feel superior to others"

Yeah, just like how all those right-wing propaganda sites broke the story of the UVA rape hoax, the Oberlin KKK hoax, the anti-gay waitress/tip hoax, the Vassar racist text messaging hoax, the UW rape threat hoax, etc., until they all turned out to be real.

The fact that he would even make that desperately absurd claim shows how little he actually grasps.

Umm, yeah. Exactly.

Nope. There's a police report that confirms someone REPORTED the swastika. The police have been contacted for comment, and they have never confirmed it existence. There are no photos.

I don't care how people look, I care how they behave. And if you find that behavior acceptable, then you're far worse than any bigot.

"Quit bringing the constitution into this"

That's an utterly insane and dangerously fascist rationale.

Black Lives Matter protesters do it every single day.

A racial epithet isn't threatening. Saying you're going to kill or physically harm someone is threatening. Calling someone a name is not.

Yeah, that's a BS excuse. Even if you couldn't capture someone supposedly yelling a racial epithet — which is a stretch, because seriously, you expect anyone to believe that a student could just yell 'n****r' on a college campus in 2015 and NOT have the situation escalate to the point that SOMEONE would record it —

Expelling a student for something they say is the same as telling them they can't say it. Which is a violation of the first amendment.

No, it's really not.

It dosn't mean they don't do it, they just haven't been sued into compliance yet. But it is absolutely true that public universities cannot limit free speech on campus.

Not at a state school. At a private university. But it's been ruled on several occasions that students at a state school enjoy full constitutional protections and the school cannot implement a code of conduct that runs counter to their constitutional rights.

And yet no evidence was presented that ANY of the charges of racism actually happened. You'd think that if the campus was such a hotbed of racism, someone would have a cell phone video or a picture or something. So weird.

Social consequences, sure. Not calling the police.
