A Georgia Southern University student is on an apology tour after a text message with a racist slur was sent to the wrong person, and made public through multiple social media sites.
Courtney Schaefer, a student at GSU, was allegedly vetting a new roomie when she mistakenly sent out a text to the soon-to-be bunkmate, that included the n-word. But, apparently, the text was not meant to be racist at all.

“OMG! I am so sorry! Holy crap. Damn spell check I did NOT mean to say that," Schaefer replied after recognizing the wrong recipient received the text, reports the AJC.
After realizing her mistake, she blamed autocorrect and continued to apologize for the incident. “I meant to say triggerish, meaning like, you seemed really cool, nothing that triggered a red flag! I’m so embarrassed. I apologize.”
But the new roommate screenshot the messages and decided to share them on social media.
Dajah Morrison, a Georgia Southern University senior who said she personally knows the victim, said she was so mad, she was sweating with anger when she first saw the text. WSAV reports that Morrison did not believe Schaefer's explanation.
“Triggerish is not a word at all, either. The closest word to that is triggerfish. So, for her to cover those things up, it just didn’t add up.”
The University also jumped in and vows to look into the incident.
"The use of such racist comments is offensive and unacceptable and in no way reflects the attitudes or values of Georgia Southern University," President Shelley Nickel said in a statement. "To be clear, there is no place for bigotry or racism on our campuses.”
Georgia Southern University is in the heart of the deep south. With that in mind, Morrison still has faith the university will address this issue and properly take care of the situation. "Hopefully, they’ll be professional and handle everything correctly, but I’m just hoping they shut that down and show other students we don’t play that. We’re here to learn.”

Hey 
Thank God it's not 'ALL' white persons. This is more about an individual who choses to be a racist. They are the ones who make it harder for those who are truly loving and non racist. Sadly racism comes in 'all' colors, not just white.
names.
