The term “La Raza” has its origins in early 20th century Latin American literature and translates into English most closely as “the people” or, according to some scholars, as “the Hispanic people of the New World.” The term was coined by Mexican scholar José Vasconcelos to reflect the fact that the people of Latin America are a mixture of many of the world’s races, cultures, and religions. Mistranslating “La Raza” to mean “the race” implies that it is a term meant to exclude others.

Don't shoot the messenger. That's from their website. If someone is going to claim one thing about a group, its only right to listen to their reply. That is their response. Take it for what its worth. Not everything on the internet is gospel. That's my only point. Have a good one.

You go ahead and twist into knots explaining La Raza includes those from Israel, the Congo, the Irish and Mexicans.

Maybe you'll find someone drooling in a cup to buy your claptrap.
