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President Janet Murguia described “La Raza” as an outdated term that did not resonate with its members.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:

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 it’s 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 … And that’s going to be important as we see the challenges that we’re facing at this particular time,”

And a pig just renamed itself a peacock.
Can I keep on calling them “the Klan with the tan”?
And a pig just renamed itself a peacock.
Well, maybe they'll change it to something similar, like Adios Nada US - acronym ANUS.
Too many people now know it means the National Council of The Race.
It is still a racist organization advocating for foreign nationals to colonize our country.
The left polishing turds....
La Raza is and will always be the racists.
The Left always ends up using false names for its movements because the real descriptions would doom them from the get-go.
“Racial minorities (non-whites) are not the enemy. “
Yes they are. If they are invading my country, laughing at our laws, living off of the taxpayers and breeding like flies they are definitely the enemy. White people are the minority in the world and these parasites can’t let us alone because they want what we have.
Oh, and we’ve been a socialist country since FDR.
So non-white members of FR are the enemy as well?
If you have voted for R or D politicians who haven’t committed to get rid of the welfare/warfare state, and if you’ve sent your children into the socialist government schools, then you have helped to push the Republic over the cliff.
Glad you pointed out FDR. Have you voted only for candidates fully committed to rolling back socialism?
Some of the posters in this thread would seem to be more comfortable over at Stormfront (and the like)
“So non-white members of FR are the enemy as well?”
If they are invading this country yes.
I haven’t seen any politician from any party trying to roll back socialism. Trump is certainly shaking the tree though.
There are plenty of candidates from second parties with a roll back of the welfare-warfare state as part of their platform. If you have supported R’s and D’s, for the most part you have given consent for the illegal invasion.
The name changes,but the problems remain.
