Strong Hispanic lobby responsible for URM status?

<p>Just wanted to relay this message from a thread on the Parents forum. The thread has unfortunately degenerated into a general URM discussion, and I have only participated because I find it difficult to see the inaccuracies many members post as fact. I thought post #223 was particularly interesting because we all had just been discussing the opposite, how many opportunities for Hispanics have dissipated over the years rather than gotten stronger: </p>
