In reply to the discussion: In U.C.L.A. Debate Over Jewish Student, Echoes on Campus of Old Biases [View all]onenote
(42,374 posts)39. So you think that if the person who offends is satisfied with the apology they give then it's okay?

Of course not. Any form of racism. Whatever term one prefers for the same thing. Your judgment is free to have of me.

Ain't it interesting how more than a few go out of their way to "excuse" this behavior?

Isn't Roth a Jewish name too? I think questions of bias are normal in courtroom situations.

It is an excellent apology, read in entirety, by the entire student board - compare with Ben Carson.

The one asking “how do you see yourself being able to maintain an unbiased view?” needs a MIRROR!

And now that she's been 'accepted' she's likely to 'keep her place' to suit them.

I hope that does change the behavior on the campus. We need to get back to some sense of neutrality.

Giving an apology that was half as bad as Carson's would still be a bad apology
