Maddie Scharfenstein, Sage Ryan and double standard of the "N-word"

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU is responding after a women's tennis player was caught on video using a racial slur.
The student, Madison Scharfenstein of Slidell, is a walk-on on LSU's tennis team. The video showed Scharfenstein using the slur and then subsequently laughing about it in a follow up video.
LSU released a statement Saturday afternoon, condemning the incident: "We are aware of the social media post concerning one of our student-athletes, and we are taking immediate and deliberate steps to address it... We will not condone behavior that is in violation of our core values and expectations of student conduct."
Here's the Scharfenstein video where she's recorded saying "come in n***a"
Meanwhile in today's Citrus Bowl, a hot mic caught Sage Ryan calling an injured player a "bitch arse n***a."
No public statement from LSU. No comments about behavior that violates core values and expectations of student conduct. No word on opening an investigation.
What gives? Does LSU apply disciplinary rules differently based on a students race?

Something something it isn’t racist to dictate who can say or do something based on the color of their skin.
But only when it comes to this.

It would be interesting to see these two incidents juxtaposed in court. Wonder if the tennis player has any legal angle to leverage now.

We have de facto blasphemy laws in the 21st century. But it's not God you have to speak about reverently, it's black people.

LSU needs to be pushed on this issue, but we know they won’t.
It should be unacceptable by everyone.

That's where my mind is. Regardless of opinion on whether she should be saying those words, I'd like to hear LSUs official statement on why one student athlete can say this word and another student athlete is kicked off the team for saying the same word. The only apparent difference is the students race so LSU would be applying a policy of discipline inconsistently based on race. That seems lawsuity.

Sharfenstein is white and is therefore the aggressor and wrong.
Ryan is not white and therefore a victim in this case.

Yes. Where the hell have you been?

The difference between the two incidents is that Scharfenstein’s use of the word was far, far, FAR less egregious

Which lib will be first to chime in and explain the cultural differences as to why one person can use the term in an aggressive manner and the other can't use it at all?

As a white man, you can freely blare rap music in the student parking lot but you cannot freely stand next to your car and shout out rap song lyrics.

Seems like a clear cut EO violation.

Isn’t it infuriating how people who claim to be so opposed to racism will simply ignore it when it takes them in the direction they’re already moving?

Are the most racist people in this country.
I grew up in a half black community. School was always around 50/50 white/black. We didn't have race issues. The people you speak of NEVER have been outside of their bubble. Go to the northeast. They will tell you how racist the South is as you look ar9und and notice there's not a black person to be seen.
This subject really chaps my arse.

The Sage Ryan tweet doesn’t exist.
