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President Janet Murguia described “La Raza” as an outdated term that did not resonate with its members.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

What is LULAC’s new name?
La Raza=the race
as opposed to us united
uh huh
When I first read the title it looked like “Adios US.”
Marketing doesn’t erase anti American racism. If you lost me, with half my family Latino, and the Latino half hates them as well, then they have lost the war before a shot is fired. This is what happens when you try to cut in line, @ssholes.
Hispanics are not a “single race” but La Raza refers to them in total.
“Gringo...”
So when are the United Negro College Fund and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People changing their names?
That’s just EstupidOS.
Race does not matter in God’s eyes. It’s that simple. We do not need to lower ourselves to their level. Racial minorities (non-whites) are not the enemy. Socialism is. We are in a culture war, and the government school system is the tip of the spear. If we want to turn things around, we need our children out of the Bernie academies. Starting now. Sending ones children to government schools cancels out one’s conservative votes, probably by several factors in the long term. Government schooling is personal, family, state and national suicide.
Unidos my ass!
Unidos translates to united. These folks are separatists, looking for special treatment of illegal aliens.
They have no will to learn our ways and become Americanized, or good standing citizens. They have nothing but contempt for citizens.
The new name should be, SepararUS. Separar is to separate, breakup, disjoin...
God may not care but our government, laws, acedemia, MSM, and every other facet of life does. And while you claim that minority’s are not our enemy who is it exactly that you think are members of these multitude of race groups?
Soros cahnges the names of all of his organizations every 2-3 years.
To keep you consfused.
They’re appropriating English. Why not Unidos Nosotros?
“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 perceive this group as anti-white and anti-U.S., regardless of whatever name they use. If they think they are being mistreated here they should cross the Rio Grande back to their La Raza utopia.
Reminds me of the scene from “Tommy Boy” for some reason:
Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of s***. That’s all it is, isn’t it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer’s sake, for your daughter’s sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.
Seems like the racist La Raza doesn’t want to be connected to racism.
Too little too late La Raza!
Time was, the USA was los USA. Notice it’s being used as US.
Mexico is also a United States of Mexico. This is not really rebranding. It’s making sure to include no border.

Maybe someone pointed out to them that La Raza translates to Das Volk in German. The new name won’t change the fact that they are an Hispanic supremacist organization with national socialist political leanings.
