Janitors, female gangsters and pregnant women.
These were some of the costumes worn by students, including student-athletes, portraying Latino stereotypes at an off-campus birthday party on Jan. 29.
Photographs from the "south of the border" party were discovered by a member of the Multicultural Center, who then passed them on to Bernice Aguas, director of the MCC. They had been posted on Facebook, a social networking site that is popular among Santa Clara students.
Aguas said she was shocked when she saw the photos.
"I was speechless. I didn't even know what to think, feel or say," she said.
Among the students at the party were at least five members of the women's volleyball team, at least one member of the men's basketball team and at least one member of the men's golf team, according to pictures from the party. The party's host, also an athlete, is half-Mexican.

Are you going to stop college students from having fun? No. Was this party fun because it was about immigrants? Heck yes. Did they know they were being 'racist'? I'm pretty sure of it--but who did they harm here?
