Actrually, that is not how it translates.

"Raza" in Spanish means much more than "race" and inacludes things like the
English "breed" as in cattle, dogs, horses, and many others. In the
Southwest, it means "the people" (equivalent of "pueblo" in other Hispanic
areas) or the working class of Mexican immigrants. It s ageneric term,
applied to even names of radio stations appealing to this greoup, like KLX,
La raza, in LA. You can even say, "Juan es raza" meaning that Johnny is one
of the common folks.

just another racist advocacy group like the NAACP,

There is no group called "La Raza" in the US.

I was referring to the NCLR as being the group in particular,
with "La Raza" as the focus of its activities.

only happens to be more disingenuous in their identity.

except such a group does not exist.

You even claimed membership in NCLR,
maybe not your group but something by that title exists.

The NCLR is never referred to as just "La Raza" which is a generic term for
working people.
