"A Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses"

That's how former Rep. Tom Tancredo described the National Council of La Raza, of which Sonia Sotomayor is a member. Yes, obviously a bombastic statement, but an interesting one. Let's take the "hoods" to represent secrecy and the "nooses" to represent violence. What would the KKK be without secrecy or violence? Just a bunch of guys with unpopular views who sit around and bitch about the world.

I can think of many organizations that fit that description. La Raza is not at the top of that list.
