returning the Southwest to Mexico. This has been repeated ad nauseam here, w/o any basis. "La Raza" is a civil rights organization that works to prevent discrimination & further the rights of Hispanics in the US. (Sort of like the NAACP). This is also distinguished from the phrase, "la raza", which simply refers to Latin Americans in general. Aztlan is some bizarre fringe newsletter, so I'm not sure how you can assume they can speak for all Chicanos (except that it justifies your fears?). However, based on their lame website w/assorted anti-Semitic & conspiracy theories, it looks like most fringe supremacist websites. It also appears to consist of 5 people. Aztlan is not at all a mainstream organization. It's like assuming Fred Phelps & his fringe church somehow speak for the American people. And you know what - even on that fringe website, I couldn't find anything advocating returning the Southwest to Mexico. Maybe you can help me out w/that one. Or were you just quoting what someone else said?
