While others urged her to stop, a prejudiced University of Kentucky student sang the term “n*****” and yelled obscenities at a desk receptionist for ten minutes.
Sophia Rosing, 22, was detained early on Sunday morning in Lexington, Kentucky, when she stumbled into the dorms and attacked fellow student Kylah Spring, who was manning the front desk.
Video captured her violent and racial outburst at Spring, and court records indicate that she used the word “n*****” more than 200 times during the incident.

In the entire ten-minute video, when Rosing is accused of ruining her life, she blatantly responds, “No, I didn’t,” and then softly sings the n-word repeatedly before police arrive to take her into custody.
The business and marketing major can be heard faintly singing the word even after the University of Kentucky cop has her in handcuffs as she is being hauled away.
While frightened pupils watch and some attempt to interfere, Rosing can also be heard urging Spring to “do her duties” and calling her a “ugly n***** b****.”
After the incident on Sunday, Spring went to an anti-racism march on Monday night. There, she gave a stirring speech and promised Rosing that she “will not break my spirit.”
The university freshmen desk clerk broke down in tears as she addressed the crowd during the march held in her honour.
Spring sobbed as she addressed the audience and said, “Jane Doe, aka Sophia Rosing, assaulted me physically, verbally, and culturally.”
