National Council La Raza isn’t separatist group

“M ichelle Malkin’s July 15th online column, “How radical La Raza gets federal subsidies,” is filled with inaccuracies about our organization, the National Council of La Raza.

For example, Malkin incorrectly translates our name as “the race.” In Spanish, as in English, words have multiple meanings. In our case, “La Raza” means “the people” or “the community.” Hispanics are an ethnic group, not a race.”
