I think his race doesn’t play as much of a role as the victim’s race. So, in this case he didn’t do it to someone who suffered fear or intimidation because there wasn’t a real victim. Still what he did was bad, piss poor judgment and can still elevate racial tensions, especially if he haven’t admitted fault. In the case where a white person had done it to a black person there would have been a victim A more interesting hypothetical question would be what would have happened if a white person got caught putting up a sign that said “Peckerwoods inside” or something like that on his own door? But to equate what this idiot did with what would happen if a white guy did it to black man just doesn’t have enough parallels.
I literally have no way of knowing anyone's true intent behind doing this. What if I as a white guy heard other whites talking about being scared of the guy in apartment 210 and I stuck that shit on his door to make a point? Sounds stupid but a human could do that. Should I get expelled? Maybe
Were I the Dean I would listen to the stories of all the parties involved and then make a judgement call. But that's what it would come down to, a judgement call. If I felt there was racism involved, intimidation involved, harassment involved those would all weigh on the outcome. So would how contrite the person was, if they were willing to go to counseling, stuff like that. But face value I would say expel the white guy who did it to the black guy but not the black guy who did it to himself.
Actually this sort of stuff need to be clean up for all to deal with learning what needs to be learned. These are distractions.
