I would not get so hung up on the language issue. PLEASE, read a few of the links I gave on the groups and their activity. And they have money and power.

As mentioned Hillary Clinton is speaking on Thursday of this week to LaRaza and an an ex VP of La Raza was named by the President to run his commission on immigration.

This group is big and they are much the same as many in crying racist a lot. Example and this goes back a few years when Lou Dobbs left CNN.

La Raza Head Stands By 2008 Attack on Lou Dobbs's 'Hate Speech'

You can read it yourself, but Dobbs confronted this head of LaRaza and I love this comment,

"Dobbs vowed, "I'm going to fight you with every resource I have, because you've stepped over the line. And you're trying to tear apart the First Amendment. You can't stomach the fact that there are different opinions." Murguia replied, "Free speech is one thing; hate speech is another thing."

Bottom line....another activist group nearing the center of our government.

To be clear.....I understand that both right and left...both Democrat and Republican parties have activist groups, but NOT as part of the governing.
