I am a white Argentinean I should hang out with white people, ect. Sharing of similar "taste" because people are of the same race despite being from totally different cultures seems extremely farfetched.
2. It assumes that the Idea of what race you are takes precedence over culture for example Although, you, LatinaAlumna, and I are likely 3 difference types of Latino, likely grew up in 3 different parts of the country, and I assume are 3 or 4 different nationalities (I’m Half Dominican and half Venezuelan) We all new what was meant when she posted the picture of the chancla…terrifying
3. Given #2 It does not reason why this has not happened across the board. In Asian orgs, Native American orgs, and Non-NPHC African American orgs who likely have members of multiple cultures as well.
4. It still wouldn't make it a multicultural organization. Just organization that is diverse. Working for Latino empowerment would show that you are a Latino organization.


I know you were just making up examples and nothing is factual or based on anything but I just don’t think it is that it simply about race and making people feel comfortable.

I agree with you 100%. I was just shooting at an answer. Still, I do believe that the phenomeno has not spread to other cultural GLO's, or at least not as strong (Sigma Beta Rho was founded South Asian and now is multicultural) because those cultures mainly do concentrate on a specific race. An LGLO is a multiracial organization due to the fact that no matter your race, what makes you a Latino is the Spanish language (yours or your parents or grandparents). From being multiracial to becoming multicultural, given specific circumstances, is just a step.
