I did read the article, but I'm still having trouble with the OP title here.

"Nobody can take a joke" - "I was joking" - "It's a joke, asshole"

All too often these are what you hear after someone gets called out on making a racial slur.
Ironically, such are a reverse-PC way a bigot uses to get a social pass on their derogatory remarks.

OTOH the article makes it seem all too silly.
But my college experience was one of the best periods of my life,
because, in large part, it was a time filled with dormitory-arguments
over all kinds of issues: religious - social - political - military - sex ...

I actually glad to see that such back-and-forth vogues are still happening on the campuses.
