Only n-words get to call themselves n-words and it begs the question that if n-words find it so offensive...why are they constantly engaging in self degrading abrasive abusive language to one another They are their own worst enemies.

Yeah, because people dropping the N-bomb give a shit about an honor code

I would think they'd asked the Student to Leave...
