After reviewing the article in the April 16 paper regarding damage done to the pavilion during a party, we, as a multicultural class, took offense to the author's tone. We feel that the detail put into describing the quinceañera as a Hispanic birthday party was unnecessary and uncalled for. Damage to the pavilion could have occurred during any type of event, and comments such as these tend to negatively influence the community's opinion of our Hispanic population.
In no way are we excusing the responsibility party's behavior; however, it has nothing to do with their ethnic background. Please take this into consideration for further articles.
