Here's the full post, but the bad words are still redacted (which is insane to redact "evidence," leaving us to assume he used a slur, but whatever). Based on context I think it's probably just a swear word, but the post doesn't make him look good. He even says this situation is "making [him] racist" and says people deserve to die.

Sure, I read the article. If he had used a racial slur, most media would report it something like "used the 'n-word'". They did not, and thus I can only guess he did not (or perhaps the version the media got was redacted? I can't imagine why a court would redact a bad word, racial slur or not...)

This is also the grand kid of the business owners. There can be significant differences across generations of families in attitudes.

none of those dumb things he said on social media affect my opinion of the case against oberlin.
