The accused girl here was trying to comment on the fact that they did not need to issue any snap-bids because they had enough freshman in their 2014 class, so she sent a message saying "No new Ninjas this year". However, her phone autocorrected to a racial slur (ending in -as, rather than -ers), an unfortunate occurrence particularly in the current climate there at UA. Case-in-point, why would she say "no new ______" if they indeed have 2? I feel sorry for this girl.
My lawyer-fu says this is an attempt at saving face, possibly a cover story.

Yup, and a lousy attempt at that -- if it really did auto-correct, wouldn't that mean the poster had used the word a lot previously on her device?

Yeah, um, if your phone autocorrects to the n-word, you've taught your phone the n-word (and I don't give a shit if it ended in -as, it's still the n-word).

And while not nearly as offensive as this obviously, celebrating over nosnap bids is kind of dicky, too.
