Oh, I’m sure sometime somewhere one of these things was real. Just because I have never seen one does not mean at least one has not occurred.
Have also heard actual racist anti-black comments involving the N-word at sporting events. But rarely.
I knew it was fake. These things are 99.99% fake. I’m black and when I tell ‘concerned’ white people not to get worried about these events (I’m an academic, white academics are always concerned about something...), heads shake in disbelief, because, of course, there’s rampant racism everywhere.
Also, I’ve known a few people who either went to St Olaf or sent their kids there. It’s a nice school with a decent environment based on their reports. I’d be very surprised if such an overtly racist event happened there.
