Kylah Spring said in the video that Sophia Rosing hit her multiple times and kicked her in the stomach.

A former University of Kentucky student pleaded guilty Monday to assault and other charges for a racist attack on a Black student that was captured on video.

Sophia Rosing, 23, pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of disorderly conduct and public intoxication, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

    Good for the woman who was attacked to maintain composure. That must have been really hard. From the article:

    Spring said she understood it was critical that she remained composed even while being attacked.

    “I wanted to make sure I acted appropriately so that I could keep my job because the script could have been flipped at any time if I had retaliated,” Spring said

    It’s so heartbreaking that the bolded part is systemic racism. Like she can’t defend herself because that terrible white woman would have pretended to be the victim? Fuck all of that and fuck that white girl.
