This may be naive, but I think Republicans need to reach out to Hispanics, so they really see us and not the way the media and Dems portray us. I belong to some Republicans women's club and they are way too "country-clubbish" for my taste. Nice people, but I don't see them working in the barrios.
I suspect that many, probably most, Republican clubs around the country (whether their members' socioeconomic status is low or high) are primarily social clubs, safe places where people can speak freely among others with whom they have a lot in common. They are a kind of shelter from the liberal-dominated society. While I understand and sympathize with this, we need to be more active and hit the streets, speak out at liberal-dominated city council meetings, write letters to the editor, and everything else. While some Republicans are uncomfortable with nonwhites, just as some Democrats are uncomfortable with whites, I think the fundamental problem is unwillingness to "reach out" to anyone who is not in the club or already a friend. This unwillingness does much to contribute to the perception of our party as uninterested in Hispanics, etc. In fact, we are interested in Hispanics, but insufficiently interested in outreach or any other kind of activism.
