This girl was dumb. According to the article, she sent that e-mail to several people, not just one. Was the young lady who sent it to the BLSA also a member of that org? Was she Black and personally offended? Or was she just telling on the girl to an org that didn't really need to know, but was likely to be horribly offended and turn this into a melodrama if they did?
This happened a couple times at my graduate institution. If some injustice was happening on campus (student housing did something that violated the lease, etc) then someone, usually a law student, would get the other law students involved, knowing they'd cry foul and use their pre-professional legal muscle to threaten such-and-such unless things changed. Honestly, I don't think forwarding that e-mail all over the country was necessary but, given the "viral" nature of the internet, she should have known it was safer to keep her controversial thoughts off the web. I think it'd be more effective to let her skip along to her clerkship, then have her work under a Black judge.
