First off, I would like to say that I'm really excited that so many people are responding to this editorial. Being able to take in all of your opinions in addition to the article really enhances the reading experience! However, I really bristled at Mr. D. Anthony Tyeeme Clark's response. Instead of being a constructive comment, I find that it is actually presumptuous and thoughtless. Mr. Clark, who is not a Uni student, and certainly not on the Gargoyle staff, would not know the ethnic backgrounds of our senior editors. So to assert that, "Clearly, these particular recipients of white privilege are uncomfortable having been put in a position during their senior year of high school to reflect on their unearned advantages, undeserved benefits, and even mediocrity" is just as bad as his criticism of the editors, who according to him, are assuming that minority students do not face prejudice. Of the ten senior editors, eight come from culturally diverse backgrounds. Our senior editors represent such countries as Palestine, India, Romania, China, Egypt, and Iran. Lastly, when Mr. Clark warns, "To those of you who are on the receiving end of this assault by your school newspaper, keep your heads high. You are smart. You are important. You are beautiful human beings!" unjustly demonizes the Gargoyle and the Gargoyle staff. An editorial is hardly an "assault." It is a collective opinion. And if Mr. Clark were a frequent reader of the Gargoyle, he would know that there has never been an article posted, or printed, that has intentionally brought down the morale or self-confidence of Uni students. The Gargoyle is a newspaper made by the students, for the students. The Gargoyle's goal is not to make its readers feel unintelligent, unimportant, or ugly.
