Whether La Raza even has a “Defender of the Melting Pot” award has been disputed on other threads. What is the source for this? I’ve done some searching, including on La Raza’s own website, and can’t find anything.

The source was linked in my post: a National Review article by Mark Krikorian (Center for Immigration Studies) from Aug. 2005.

C’mon LS, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good knee jerk conniption

Info (or lack thereof) of the “Defender of the Melting Pot” award.

Not saying it he didn’t get this award, it is just a mystery that outside the National Review articles (and the thousands of blogs linking to it) I can’t find anything official about this specific award, what it is for, or why people are nominated..

All I can find is this one opinion piece by Mark Krikorian, with no sourcing, making this claim about the “Defender of the Melting Pot Award”. It has then been picked up by everyone else. I’m always dubious of folks who don’t provide citations.
