There does seem to be some kind of a racist pattern at Yale which I would imagine violates at least some free speech law:

Which "free speech law" would that be which is being violated here?

Freedom of speech and expression can exist as a concept outside the limited bounds of codified law.

Sure, but in that conceptual form they're not laws. The original comment seemed pretty confident about some law that was being violated, so I wanted to know which one it was.

Sorry, the mobile design has subtler indentation and I lost track of who's us and who's them.

I'm a little disgusted that this self-evident fact is greyed.

I didn't downvote it, but it's pretty obvious why it got downvoted.
