Is this photo offensive?

Apparently some people find the photo posted in the above linked article to be offensive setting off yet another "controversy" A little background on where this photo was taken.
The first week in June to help raise money for LAFRA (Los Angeles Firemen's relief association) the LAFD holds an event in Downtown known as Hope 4 Firefighter's. It's a fantastic event. Various Los Angeles Fire Station's with a corporate sponsor line Hope St in Downtown LA and serve either food or desert there is also a theme as seen in the photo in the article. While enjoying a culinary delight from one of the booths spectators can watch muster teams from local business's partake in several muster events the winning team being crowned Hope 4 Firefighter's champ.
Now my rant.
I am Hispanic and I don't find this photo the least bit offensive. I think it's quite funny what offends me is those who are claiming to be offended by this photo. I can't believe there are those who find this photo to be offensive fake mustaches and sombreros? Give me a break there are bigger issues going on in the world right now than a group of firefighter's posing for a funny photo with the Chief!.
