I think that is where the split occurs - some people emphasize the Historically Latina part while others are emphasizing the Multicultural Membership part. Both may be right, but by emphasizing one over the other, it can indicate two different directions.
You know, I was thinking about that. I see NPCs claiming their diversity/multiculturalism but we don't confuse who they are. Perhaps the difference is in the type of group. When culture-based orgs say that they have "multicultural membership," especially when it's true, it can be tempting to swing to far into the other direction. There must be a good solution.
