How ignorant are tRump some staffers and supporters?

While Curiel is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, some conservative pundits of the Republican presidential candidate accused the federal judge of being a member of a different organization with “La Raza” in its name: the National Council of La Raza, a civil rights organization that advocates for (among other things) immigration reform and better opportunities for Latino families.  Luis Osuna, president of the La Raza Lawyers Association, confirmed to the Washington Post that these two organizations are not connected.

It is not the Mexican version of the KKK. They are a local diversity Bar association that focuses on diversity and equality in the LEGAL FIELD, but particularly among Latinos. The San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association is one of more than a dozen affiliates of the California La Raza Lawyers Association, and not the KKK outlier group.

En Espanol, “La Raza” also means “the people” or “the community.”
