"Shut up, you water buffalo" was the statement that prompted five black sorority sisters at the Uni yersity ofPenn~ylvania to call campus police, charg ing that the statement was racist. Eden JacoJ?.owitz, an Israeli-born freshman, sparked the controversy last January when he shout ed those words, trying to quiet the women, who were talking outside his dorm room. Jacobowitz, an Orthodox Jew, said the statement is a translation for the Hebrew "behemah," slang for "fool" or "dummy." However, he was charged with racial harassment undertheuniversityshate-speech policy and threat ened with suspension. The outgoing president of the university was crit icized for failing to defend free speech rights. Eventually, the charges and the hate-speech policy were dropped.
