Some APALSA Members Split Over Temple Bar Incident

Serevino also took issue with the actual charges of discrimination.

"I don't think they realize they are vilifying real, hard-working people. They didn't take enough steps to hear Temple Bar's side of the story," he said.

The message reached the e-mail list of APALSA, the publishers of Diversity and Distinction, the Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, the Harvard Human Rights Journal and members of La Alianza.

Many more students received the message as its first recipients forwarded it to other groups. One attendee of the meeting said she believed it had reached every ethnic group in the College.

The message describes the group's trip to Temple Bar and alleges unfair treatment.

"A week earlier, some of our members had attended a student event comprised of Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans. There was no problem seating that group," the message reads.

It describes the seating problem as "different treatment" and goes on to advocate a boycott.
