People, lets try to read the OP thoroughly before making comments.
Don't worry because those of us who speak Spanish know exactly what La Raza means and what they are all about, especially those of us who happen to have Americans of Mexican descent in their families.

And your the one calling me a 'Child', while you can't grasp simple information such as this? I speak Spanish, my parents are Mexican. La Raza literally means the race which is interpreted as community.

Yes, and that is what bothers many of us, the fact that there are gullible people who fall for the fake lies that the La Raza feed young people when they are truly all about race and bigotry and getting rid of the white people of this country.

Race does not mean community and of course all thinking people know what La Raza is all about. Go ahead and live in that fantasy world. Must be nice.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! LA RAZA LITERALLY MEANS "THE RACE" IN SPANISH. IS IT REFERRING TO THE MEXICAN RACE? NO!! AMERINDIAN/ EUROPEAN IS NOT A RACE!!

People of the forum, if there is another way that I may approach this from a different angle to explain it to this person, please don't hesitate to pm me.

Yes, it does but that is not the way it is used in this country and of course you know that or you would not be embarrased by them. Mecha used to be for the good of Chicanos also but of course has turned into another racist and bigoted organization for Hispanics.

Mexican is not a race child. But Mexicans tend to look at race about everything. Why? Because the whole of Mexico is racist and bigoted. The elites of Mexico hate the Indian and Mestizo and because of that the Mestizos, the majority of the illegal aliens in our country, hate the whites and all that our country used to stand for, all because they have been dissed by their own countrymen.

As a rule of thumb, if someone on this forum talks about La Raza you should be safe in assuming they are referring to the group La Raza (NCLR).
