Our new district attorney, a Cuban American, is making a speech on Saturday.

Is this sentence correct?

Hi,

The grammar is fine, and it doesn't seem offensive.

Is the phrase 'a Cuban American' necessary?

That was my thought too; there's nothing wrong gramaticallywith what you wrote, but it is necessary to include the new DA's ethnicity?
