I would be furious if my organization was now calling itself "multicultural with Latina founders" or any other phrasing that we're starting to see. Sometimes I wonder how older members of these orgs. feel.
I've seem some orgs drop "latino/a" on their national site and members now claim that they are a multicultural organization but have seen some chapter websites of said orgs that claim they are the largest latino/a org in the nation, just as recently as this morning, as a matter of fact.

Yo no se
