The National Council of La Raza announced that it will change its name to UnidosUs, AP reports.
President Janet Murguia described La Raza as an outdated term that did not resonate with its members. AP exclusively translates Raza as the people in its report. However, the term can also be interpreted as the race, which carries a suggestion of zero-sum ethnic conflict. According to the AP:

AP exclusively translates Raza as the people in its report. However, the term can also be interpreted as the race, which carries a suggestion of zero-sum ethnic conflict. According to the AP:
Literally translated, raza means race, but that is not the definition of the word. The term for the people was coined to describe the various races Mexican people come from. Chicano civil rights activists popularized it in the 1960s and 1970s and its faced backlash today.
The new term translates to United us, or United States United.
Murguia claimed the name change was not in response to conservative criticism but said it is intended to mobilize the Latino community in response to perceived anti-Latino racism from the administration.
I think this is viewed as an opportunity and we see it as an opportunity to strengthen our or organization, broaden our reach and expand our growth

Their enemy is you.
What Country provided at least 90% of those illegal voters. It wasnt Russia/Russia!
Mexico has been interfering with our elections since LBJ was president. It isnt the evil Russians interfering with our elections it is the evil and elite white rulers of the Mexican Government and their illegals here.
Recently, hundreds of illegal aliens and other sanctuary city advocates filled the Texas House gallery to protest a bill that will protect Texans from criminal illegal aliens.
During that protest some illegal aliens held signs saying I am illegal and here to stay. Texas Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi then decided to call ICE on the self described illegals.
The Russia/Russia bs is just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections. The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians, and our Rinos, who want them for their cheap labor and votes, are the real meddlers in our election, not Russia!
Mexico has been interfering in our elections since LBJ!
Illegals and their liberal supporters threatening Texas legislators for daring to uphold our laws re immigration in the Gallery @ the Texas Legislature Building.
How many millions of $s/Pesos has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals in America, since LBJ?
How much Mexican money did Obama and Clinton receive personally and for their elections?
How many illegal Mexicans voted for Illiarily in the last election and for Obama's two terms?
How many illegal Mexicans voted for rats in our cities, counties, states and of course at our federal level?
How many Hispanic tv channels like Univision, do we have on Comcast, Direct TV, Dish TV and other tv providers, that we pay for and dont speak Spanish? Who owns those Spanish only channels? Why do we have to pay for Spanish TV channels/stations, when we dont speak Spanish?
Who owns the NY Slimes and other election meddling companies?
It is past time for our Congress to stop the Mexican meddling/interference/hacking at every level in America.
How many millions of $s has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals here, at every level, city, county, state and Federal level?
Again, the Russia/Russia bs is just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections, Mexico and its illegals in America.
ATTENTION RUSSIAN AGENTS AND SPIES! If you wish to collude with candidate Trump take a number and be seated.
The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians, and our Rinos, who want them for their cheap labor and votes, are the real meddlers in our election, not Russia!
It is time to enforce our standing laws against illegal Mexican immigration and Mexican illegals voting!
I hear the Klu Klux Klan is going to rename itself the Mystic Knights of Rainbow Unicorns
Same reason the Communists changed their appellation to Progressives.Fool the ignorant masses.
RICO Fifth Column. Indict leaders - you just know they’re involved in all sorts of illegal practices - fake SSN providers, false documentation, sedition.
Start dismantling these fifth-column organizations.
Now, CNN, MBC, ABC, CBS, Yahoo.......
If California was still part of Mexico, Mexicans would be streaming into Oregon to escape the corruption, violence and grinding poverty
Yeah, that’s just the ticket...
.
If California was still part of Mexico, so would Oregon be.
You shouldn’t have played Hookey so much!

Mexicans in the US die about 5 years younger than ‘whitey.’

It was a little less than optimal for them to employ leftist weapon #1 (calling your opponent a racist) when their organization’s name translated as “the race”.
Hence, time to employ leftist weapon #34: when the public is on to you, just change your name.
That’s one I haven’t heard about in years.
Let’s keep calling them La Raza anyway, while telling everybody that La Raza is the Mexican KKK.
I suspect that it has gotten to be too much of a pain having to continually edit Wikipedia and other sites to keep erasing their connection to the Reconquista movement.
It is easier just to become a different organization.
