Walter Cunningham; Aunt Alexandra discriminates people because of their social standings, and because Walter Jr. has a poverty-stricken background, she doesn't want Scout to pick up all sorts of 'dirty things' from him hanging around.

Aunt Alexandra believes that the Cunningham family is not socially equal to the Finches, and she worries that their presence at the dinner would not be appropriate or conducive to Scout's upbringing. She is concerned with maintaining the family's reputation and feels that associating with the Cunninghams would be seen as beneath them.
