Never heard of La Raza? You somehow missed that huge demonstration of Mexicans waving Mexican flags and trampling on the American flag? Never heard of Aztlan?

And what the hell do we need diversity for? There are many problems and no advantages in diversity whatsoever. All this blabbering about how wonderful diversity is just a lot of happy talk. And anyway most people don’t want America to be “more diverse,” i.e. less white.
