I would come home to find the decorations on my door had been torn and written on. I complained from the R.A. to director of Res Life and the only solution I was given was to move to another dorm.

It's hard to know (and you may never know) if that was racially motivated. I know it seems coincidental, but still.
When I was a head resident, one of the residents had antiSematic things written on her dorm door. Her mother is Jewish, so her last name isn't a "Jewish last name." In other words, whoever did this, knew she was involved in a "Jewish student organization" and that she was Jewish. They didn't just find her name in the University phone book and say "ah ha! Jewish last name...let's get her."
This may or may not be along the same lines, but: I recall in '96 when some black students were moving into their dorms. There were some white students (which doesn't represent the actions of all) sitting in the window of the dorms saying "come on in N*ggers...come in in....."
