I find it funny how just because some of us are asserting that we don't know enough about the busybody to conclude anything about racism that we are then classed as right-wing posters. When at least in my case, nothing could be further from the truth.
Who cares about innocent until proven otherwise? Use your prejudice to make the right prejudiced call! Its encouraged. Because the busybody is white! Be a good person!

We know that she called the cops on two Black grad students. That's a pretty low activity rate for a busybody who just likes to get into everyone business and police the halls.

What we know is that for a busy body, she has a ridiculously light trail of calls to cops if this is her MO.

We KNOW she called the cops on 1 black grad student. That black grad student says the busybody called the police on a friend of hers.
We don't KNOW how many other times she's called the cops. You are making an assertion about a "light trail" when you do NOT know anything about that "trail".
B/c you people make up stories out of whole cloth. We have the name and the incident where she called the cops on another student, and you're trying to claim that we can't trust that... lol. B/c someone just made up a completely fictional incident w/ real people.
Meanwhile, you have ZERO EVIDENCE that she's a busy body and you're sticking to it like you grew up w/ her and can personally attest to her behavior.
Nobody knows for sure.
The two incidents we know of are the ones in which she decided to call the cops. Trying to extrapolate a pattern from 2 cases would make my statistics professor's head explode.
calling the police takes this a step above busy body in the minds of most people.
I'm not "dismissing" it. Sigh. Again, what did I say in my first post? Maybe it was, but we don't know. This is what I'm dismissing: The very fact that some people instantly state it was based on "racism" without any proof whatsoever. Until we know for sure it was motivated by the other student being black, it is ridiculous to say that this was solely because the other student was black. There is no proof of it. Her being up in everyone elses business is definitely proven. That's all.

So let's compare the two: on one hand we have 1 confirmed example, and one hearsay example. On the other hand, we have ZERO EVIDENCE OF HER BEING A BUSYBODY. Being a busybody would require more than one instance, and yet that's the line you have decided to make your stance on.

So if extrapolating based on 2 cases is lunacy, what does that make extrapolating based on ZERO cases?

How is her being in EVERYONE's business based on ONE example, "definitely proven"?
Many of us are quick to criticize racist behavior, but in this case there is only real proof of one phone call.
And anyone who thinks that someone would be keeping tabs on calls she made against white students is dreaming.
