Oberlin’s counter presentation of facts could have been that Gibson’s did disproportionately call the police on black customers but that was not the case.

Some statements from students and professors about their feelings is just opinion and not probative.

I do think the amount will be carved down - it’s just not in the public interest to impose costs like that on nonprofit educational institutions.

Supposedly the bakery called on whites approximately 70% of the time. Surprised Oberlin attorneys didn’t ask for the breakdown of the “whites”. “Whites” include Hispanic from Mexico, Central America, and South America, Muslims, SE Asians (Pakistanis, Indians), and Northern Africans. Once you get a breakdown, you can get a better picture of whether the bakery was targeting minorities.

Maybe the college students should stop the shoplifting? Geez.

Bingo.

I guess you two Jesus freaks stayed dry in college when underage. Get a life.

From the first page: "in 2017, the ‘Culture of Theft’ was even discussed fondly in the school’s magazine. One local bookstore owner said that she loses $10,000 a year in stolen goods to Oberlin students."

Did Oberlin administrators officially declare that the bakery is "racist"? Oberlin has zero control over what its adult students decide to protest (or not protest).

Oberlin cancelled its contract with the bakery. But that in itself does not constitute slander.

Someone please explain to me how Oberlin THE INSTITUTION is culpable?

Wasn’t an Oberlin administrator organizing and leading some of the protests? It wasn’t just students, as I recall.

They also had a census bureau breakdown of the population. Would it have been nice to have more detail? Sure. But you can't go back and make up evidence.

Historically, many minority groups get counted as “whites” for the purpose of the law enforcement agencies’ appearing unbiased. So you need to read between the lines when PD releases stats showing 70% of the calls were against “whites”. Spposedly, exactly 70% of the local population are whites. Sounds like someone really doctored the stats. It’s just too perfect.
