May I please ask what your personal impression of LULAC is?
Though I've never had reason to really research LULAC, my first impression is that it's slightly to the right of La Raza, but still too self-segregating and leftist for me. There just aren't many "Hispanic" or "Latino" organizations I believe in, simply because I don't believe in organizations that sort people by ethnicity. That doesn't mean I don't believe in groups that promote some cultural aspects of different nationalities but are open to all nationalities and have nothing to do with members' ethnicities (Celtic music; Hispanic genealogy; Japanese art; Indian weaving; German sausage making). Some FReepers this past weekend did make me aware of a group called LAIR (Latino Americans for Immigration Reform) led by a woman named Lupe Moreno. On first impression, their goals seem to be very similar to the Minutemen. I didn't have a chance to thoroughly research the group this weekend though because I was canning all weekend AND my cat went missing (she's been found).
