Many seem confused about the Trump University affiliation with La Raza Lawyers. They are not a part of the terrorist/hate group La Raza, but rather they are considered the “Latino Bar Association” of Hispanic lawyers. Of course if you had “The Race” of White lawyers, there would be a big firestorm about how racists they are. But because it’s not whitey, La Raza (The Race) Lawyer exists. The La Raza Lawyers are not a branch of the National Council of La Raza.

That doesn’t mean La Raza Lawyers aren’t controversial though.
For instance, the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Assocation which Curiel is a member of considers pro-illegal alien organizations as part of its “community.”
The San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association (SDLRLA), the group which Trump University lawsuit Judge Gonzalo Curiel is a member of, considers various pro-illegal immigrant organizations as part of its “community.”
The SDLRLA’s website includes a side-panel on their site titled “Community” which includes links to a variety of groups, including the National Council of La Raza.
“Please note, the San Diego Lawyers Association is not affiliated with the National La Raza Council,” the president of the SDLRLA, Luis O. Osuna, told The Daily Caller in a statement. However, this link is not the only connection between the SDLRLA and the National Council of La Raza. The San Diego previously publicized a La Raza announcement in 2012 about gay marriage.
