I’m not outraged at all.
Just commenting on the troubles of the NCLR.
If only those dingbats would just change their name.
Mexican-Americans need a Cosby-type to push a pin into those absurd balloons.
To answer your question I’m no more outraged over “la raza” than I am “NAA...colored people”. I think people are getting their panties in a wad over nothing and some that are are inciting outrage for the sake of stirring the pot (I’m a little disappointed in Michelle, but she has been moving this way for some time).
I’ve asked about this to hispanic friends in the past and they say it has a historical connotation when the poor people and peasants in Mexico were fighting their Spanish origin “overlords”. To them it means the common people, the salt of the earth, that kind of thing and was meant to separate them from the rich wealthy landowners who abused and exploited them.
It’ use is going to raise some hackles in the US but I doubt they are going to change it now. Best just to move on to more fertile areas of disagreement.
BTW - Hispanic, Mexican, Spanish, mixed Indian, mestizo, etc. is not a race anyway.
