This comment is directed towards TLAW:
Yes, I do agree with some aspects of your post when you state that Latinos go through alot, discrimination and so forth in this country, as do African Americans. However, I have encountered many Latinos who get offended and become outraged when they are mistaken for African American. I have even been in situations where many Latinos, although they may be darker than the average African American, deny any type of affiliation with having African ancestry. I am very aware that there are ignorant members of every ethnic group, but my comment is that a great number of Latinos show such pride in their culture, and as a result of this great demonstration in culturalistic pride, whether those of domincian, puerto rican, colubian, argentian heritage, why not extend and display the aspects of your own culture, which they have plenty and various cultural, artistic dances in their own sororities and fraternities. Anyways, the bottom line is that the creation of their sorority or fraternity was established in order to distinguish themselves from D-9 sororities or fraternites, uplift their own communities, and expand "Latino/ Hispanic Pride." So why not take it a step further and truly distinguish yourself by being original and creating characteristics that are only distinctive to your organization.
Sincerely,
Black~n~Pride
