The comment was directed towards the poster who identified herself as Middle Age White Lady, since she assumed the original poster was white since they used a suspected racial term in a non-racial context (clearly unintentional, out of context). The string of comments assume MAWL was the person who also used the racial name calling in response to “call out” the original offender. Both MAWL and the original poster were intentional in their assumptions of race and were accusatory. My assumption is that MAWL and original poster are the same, but it really doesn’t matter here. |

NP here - But if you read the string, someone brought up the white race in this. No one previously identified as such. Clearly a racist assumption. No one used a word in a racist context until a white derogatory name was called. Also, the White MIddle Age Lady said she is sick of white defense. Who’s white in all this?? Again, racially motivated. |

+100. Well said. Assumptions regarding white posters is racist. Use of both words, regardless of intent is wrong. But assuming and calling someone a racial slur intentionally is also racist. Middle While Lady said she hates when white people defend this stuff. You are right, how does anyone know anyones race here. She is being racist as well. |

That's funny considering FL is a white supremacy anti-LGBTQ state. |

Again, with the race baiting (can I say that word now?)! Folks love generalizations like this, and these same generalizations about a whole population of people is why racism and other discriminatory behaviors continue. Both sides on this can learn, as when one side assumes moral authority, hypocrisy breeds, and learning ceases. |

Thank you so much!! So pace means that if I decide to go, I'll have to do online for a year before transferring to the campus but with my stats, I honestly didn't think I'd make it in at all so I'm pretty excited!! |

PP here - that’s so awesome! Congrats again! I hear that UMD has a similar program as well. He was accepted there, direct admit into business with a cohert, but is choosing UF. We live in MD so would love the cost break, but UF has a great reputation and trending in the right direction. And not too bad compared to other top public out of state programs! Hope you choose it as well!! |

Agreed. And the very fact she describes herself, leading with her age, race, gender (“Middle Age White Lady”), demonstrates she likely subscribed to identify politics or seeing others by the color of their skin or other generalizations. Let’s let’s recap, as this is getting confusing: 1. Poster One of an unknown race uses a derogatory racial term (likely unintentionally, as it wasn’t in a racial context), but still wrong and cringe-worthy nonetheless. 2. Poster Two calls calls out Poster One, using a derogatory racial name (in context as racist and clearly intentional). 3. Poster Three (self identified as white, middle aged, female) says she is not Poster Two, but that she is tired of a typical white defense (paraphrased). 4. Poster Four calls out Poster Three for assuming a specific race (white) is involved in this discussion at all. My scorecard says Poster One should apologize for the inadvertent use of a racially charged term. Poster Two is the worst offender by name calling with a racially charged word on purpose, and should apologize and do better. Poster Two and Three should also apologize for assumptions based on skin color of any poster who didn’t identify as such. Poster Three should also look deep and promise to do better as she clearly leads with race, gender, age, etc (yikes - trifecta!). Now, here’s the mind-blowing hypothesis: Poster Two and Poster Three are the same person! Should do all of the above and then use soap. |

| Very interesting posts. Most importantly - congrats to the UF#26 admits. I, too, went to top public school (admittedly not a top 5, but they are so close at the top) and I must say I likely couldn’t get in today. Great accomplishment after a brutal admissions year. Curious if this year is an anomaly, or if this is the new normal? Regardless, be proud future Gators! |

Since you used the word “modicum,” I guess you’re right. We bow down to your wisdom. |
