Diva Lounge & Tufts students

Although the relationship between Tufts students and the local community is tenuous at times, I thought that community members should be aware of this editorial, and perhaps a dialogue can be established.

Editorial in Tufts Daily - "Racism at Diva Lounge"

Yeah, I'm sure that is what they'd say. But...

I would seriously hope that the Davis Sq. community would consider an establishment or person innocent until proven guilty. As has been said elsewhere, instances of fabricated grievances are all too common, even when the name is given.

Moreover, any fabrication, if there is such, might not even be intentional or conscious. In the heat of the moment, sometimes someone says one thing and someone hears something else.

Regardless, I'd just like to hear corroborative testimony, preferably from parties not involved, before I accuse Diva of condoning racist behaviour.
