1. Because I do not apply a double standard to bigots.
2. USSC has already ruled offensive speech is protected.
3. Its discriminatory application of those standards based on race.

Of course not.

2. USSC has already ruled offensive speech is protected.

Not under all circumstances. The concept of "fighting words" has been accepted for some time and court rulings have found that such speech isn't protected. And there is precedent that indicates that language designed to inflict severe emotional distress is not protected either. You think the university will have a problem digging up a few dozen people who claim emotional distress from this?

3. Its discriminatory application of those standards based on race.

Nonsense. It's discrimination against bigots who, last time I checked, are not a legally protected class.
