Small minded? Ok. Why call the police over an RA? How often have students fell asleep in places other than their dorms rooms? Also why would that bother this student enough to call the police? The other student obviously isn’t homeless. They live in the same dorm building, most likely she’s seen her before.

No. I’ll never join you there, there in a shaded place where 1+1=whatever you feel it should at any given moment.

Lotsa luck with that fungible illogic.

Keep dismissing those other views and continue on the same path you’ve been traveling for the last half-century, and eventually you’ll smack into Einstein’s putative definition of insanity.

How small minded of you to assume that I pretend that racism doesn’t exist just because I’m white. I completely understand and am aware that this happens to African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and many more people every single day. Don’t you think this particular story is slightly oversensationalized? The girl was napping in a hallway, which is against the rules; it makes little difference whether she was black, white, or a smurf. She was breaking the rules and someone called the police on her.

I’m not talking about low standards. I’m not saying you should refrain from calling the cops when someone as acting anti-socially and just happens to be black. I’m saying you shouldn’t call the cops just because someone, who happens to be black, is doing something white people do all the time without a problem.

Really, I gotta explain that? My point is that based on personal experience I HIGHLY doubt that Yale students are commonly calling the YPD out every time they don’t recognize somebody on campus, you are simply attempting to normalize this incident in lieu of coming up with a satisfactory explanation for the caller’s behavior.
