A convenient foil for those who think nation is too Hispanic – Ruben Navarrette on NCLR & Janet Murguia
Tagged: Janet Murguia, La Raza, NCLR“What’s in a name? Enough to leave some right-wingers fuming over the Washington-based National Council of La Raza (NCLR), one of the largest and most influential Hispanic civil rights organizations in the country.
It’s the “la raza” that drives critics nuts. The literal translation is “the race” even though, among Hispanics, the phrase is commonly interpreted as “the community” — as in the Hispanic community.
Granted, the organization’s name may be outdated. But then so is the moniker of that other group, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.”
