A US military effort to recruit more Latinos as officers on American campuses is coming under fire from California activists who call the initiative racist, according to the Daily Sundial, the student newspaper at California State University in Northridge.
The Hispanic Access Initiative was established in the late 1990s with the intention of helping produce more Latino officers in the military so its leadership better reflects the gorgeous cultural mosaic that is America.
But Karina Ceja, a senior Chicano/a Studies major and member of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan, is among those on campus who think it's unethical for the military to reach out to a particular minority group with special incentives or encouragement.
“They shouldn’t be recruiting one specific ethnic group if they consider themselves non-racist and non-discriminatory,” she said.

How many contradictions did you find?
A group established to do something is now criticized by those it is to benefit for doing what it is set up to do because to discriminate in the way it is designed to discriminate is discriminating against those previously discriminated against.
Or something like that.
And since when are we not to have minority advocate groups who by their very existence, name, and design are there solely to discriminate> Can they not spell NAACP?
Since when are we not supposed to set aside based on race? Every college campus in the country is mandated to do it, including the one this bitch attends. Those programs are in existence to keep people from saying they were screened out based on race. If X% of the student population isn't of Y race, all hell breaks loose. Now that she's in, that's wrong? I smell a hypocrite.
