It’s the latter, and it is prevalent.
We have a lot of Freepers here who are all for La Raza and reconquista. They (to this day ) try to push Rick Perry or Marco Rubio, both of whom have tied themselves to La Raza. You can’t oppose the organization while promoting it’s lapdogs.
If you knew a Judge was a member of the KKK and you were a black defendant ...... do you think that black person should be concerned about getting a fair trial?

Cesar Chavez vs. La Raza
By Mark Krikorian, October 16, 2009
When I wrote a few months ago about the origins of “la raza” as a racial-surpremacist concept (developed in the ‘20s and ‘30s on the idea of the biological superiority of mestizos), Janet Murguia, head of the National Council of La Raza, pointed and sputtered over at the Huffington Post.
Well, while reading a memoir/history of the immigration reform movement by retired historian Otis Graham (who’s on CIS’s board), I find out that even Cesar Chavez rejected the “la raza” idea as inherently racist. Graham quoted a 1969 New Yorker profile by Peter Matthiessen:
“I hear more and more Mexicans talking about la raza—to build up their pride, you know,” Chavez told me. “Some people don’t look at it as racism, but when you say ‘la raza,’ you are saying an anti-gringo thing, and it won’t stop there. Today it’s anti-gringo, tomorrow it will be anti-Negro, and the day after it will be anti-Filipino, anti-Puerto Rican. And then it will be anti-poor-Mexican, and anti-darker-skinned Mexican. ... La razais a very dangerous concept. I speak very strongly against it among the chicanos.”
And in Sal Si Puedes: Cesar Chavez and the New American Revolution, his 1970 biography, Matthiessen talked to Chavez deputy Leroy Chatfield:
“That’s one of the reasons he is so upset about la raza. The same Mexicans that ten years ago were talking about themselves as Spaniards are coming on real strong these days as Mexicans.
Everyone should be proud of what they are, of course, but race is only skin-deep. It’s phony and it comes out of frustration; the la raza people are not secure.
They look upon Cesar as their ‘dumb Mexican’ leader; he’s become their saint. But he doesn’t want any part of it. He said to me just the other day, ‘Can’t they understand that that’s just the way Hitler started?’
A few months ago the Ford Foundation funded a la razagroup and Cesar really told them off. The foundation liked the outfit’s sense of pride or something, and Cesar tried to explain to them what the origin of the word was, that it’s related to Hitler’s concept.”
In 1968, the Ford Foundation started the Southwest Council of La Raza, presumably the “outfit” Chatfield was referring to, which five years later changed its name to the National Council of La Raza.
America REALLY needs to have an open public debate about racist balkanizing political groups like LaRaza.
Prison is too good for most of them, however there are still some good folks in DC. Sen. Sessions for example.
follow the money.
How many need la raza funding cheep labor donors?
This is not about a judge belonging to a racist group. This is about politicians kow towing to their donor class.
Thank you, I will forward this on Social Media.
People NEED to read these books now more than ever!
I think the “GOP luminaries” lights don’t burn too bright.
The GOP Establishemnt vermin are as guilty as the Clinton/Obama media...they are too lazy to investigate and get the “real” facts!!! That is why we need to elect Donald J. Trump, and destroy, politically, both the Democrat & Republican Establishment parties....forever!!! These greedy, evil souls are only interested in filling their pockets and living high on the hog with out tax dollars!!!
The legends in their own mind don't need to do research, for they are the masters of the party of the imbeciles.
follow the money.
I agree. 
Precisely.
If nothing else trump is smoking em out of the tall grass
