Hate speech

[supergee]

To the adolescent mind (I know because I have one) there is something diabolically tempting about forbidden words, whether they begin with F or N. So I can sort of understand the kids who lost their Harvard acceptances for playing at being Internet assholes. But irony has always been the last refuge of a scoundrel and Internet culture is making it more of a successful one, so we probably need a deterrent like that.

Ugh, I have no sympathy for them. The Internet is part of the real world -- given this example of their deportment, what could Harvard expect of how they'd mesh with and treat the rest of their year mates, especially but not limited to the Latino ones?
