But in areas that there is a strong latino representation, they emphasize that they are latina based. I don't think you can have it both ways. It is against the law to discriminate against others based on race. Just because an organization has let in a couple of "others", it doesn't mean they should just add to their founding principles. These days it would be really hard to find any organization that doesn't have different ethnic groups represented.
Amen.
