I guess to put it bluntly, what I object to is the article's suggestions that "hazing" is a meaningless euphamism for something else. Hazing has a cultural definition and a legal one just as much as assult does.
I'm not shocked it happened in a nice white part of town. I'm not sure it deserves any more attention that dozens of other incidents of violence. I'm not sure the attention isn't due to the participants being white, or to them being rich.
And heck, what I object to in this article is only in the headline, so maybe it reflects the copyeditor more than the writer. But hazing is not a "nice word," nor is it only applied to "white kids."
