When la raza types in the USA use gringo, it's generally a hate-slur word against white Americans.
Bingo. It is a hate filled slur word used by Latinos in this country and other parts of Latin America to describe white people. Again one of those things you learn through real life experiences not on wikipedia or in a dictionary. Mostly white liberal lefties and lying Latino lefties absolutely refuse to admit this reality.

Gringo, btw, means American ; it is not used to describe Mexican whites (there are other terms used in Mexico to describe Mexican whites or whites from other Latin American countries).
If you really believe that,

I got some Ocean front property in Tucson to sell ya.

If they're not white than most white Americans aren't either.

Why is the hispanic culture more important than mine? And mine is not taught or funded by anyone!

No.

And everyone is complaining about not having their own program for their culture, it is called history class or school in general. There also are American Studies at colleges or regional studies pertaining to America like Appalachian Studies.

Amazing, how life is much different in the real world. We do things we have to, to survive school. The public schools are a shame.

I've met Hispanics who are White, Brown, Black, and Asian. So until you can provide a link, sorry your own words don't count, that shows that this organization supports a particular race, you have no proof.

But the groups supporting it will not be happy. There are plenty of activists behind this group and they will speak out very loudly about this discriminatory action against them.

If it were an elective I'd have no problem with it being offered but it was not and replaced US History/social studies from grades 3-12 which is the entire education cycle of a child.
