I'll admit:

This whole controversy is still a bit "new" to me.

I do think that the whole thing could've been handled better. And the excerpts that people showed me seemed like is was very "Hispanderizing" of the characters.

Ah well. I know some people say it was "overblown" but I can see why people would be upset, even if the news item did gain more traction compared to other stories of its kind.
