If you look closely, the agreement students have with Yale does not promise them empathy or emotional support. It promises an education. The idea that someone else's opinion or words 'hurt you' is entirely in your head. I'm told that wise Italian grandmothers tell their grandchildren "what other people think of you is none of your business." You can choose to be completely okay, or you can act like a baby. It's entirely your choice. Once you get that, once you embrace that, it is liberating. You are free of the slavery of other people's opinions. You are free of racism, of elitism, of sexism, of all of that s* because you realise that their opinions are meaningless to you. When it comes to physical actions, that's the line you let nobody cross, and you get the police involved. This is just part of growing up. But don't listen to me, I don't have a horse in this race, I'm not from your country, and I'm not from your generation. I'm just someone far removed from the situation spouting another meaningless opinion. There, see? You really don't care what I think. Good on ya.
