Luis I don't really see the need to continue to foster these ideas of hostility around campus.. MEChA is an organization dedicated to building awareness for hispanic issues with the intention of bridging interests and collaborating with other organizations for the betterment of the community-- that is hardly racist

Gee, it sure would be nice if the Sweat-Free Campaign did a better job of creating discussion on sweatshops at events where they, say, showed a documentary and maybe invited speakers who had an interesting perspective on the issue. Oh, wait...
It's fine and dandy to say you want to hear more perspectives on sweatshops, but you can't wait for them to invite speakers to your dorm room. You need to put a little effort into learning more if it's an issue you care about, otherwise I can't take seriously your complaint that Sweat-Free "seem[s] to like to pretend" to care more about the issue. If they're hosting events that you don't bother to attend, it's pretty clear that they *do* care more.
Finally, MEChA is not racist and I think the quote and perspective from their group is a very good addition to the article. If you'd like your opinion to be quoted, you probably need to show up to the event ;)

Go Sweat-Free, Go!
Keep up the good work.

John,
Please read some of the information about the WRC and DSP on Sweatfree Stanford's website, at sweatfree.stanford.edu.
These organizations are seeking a solution to the problem of sweatshops that would not result in fewer jobs. In a nutshell, the idea is that companies like Nike facilitate upgrades to the conditions in the factories they already have contracts with, and keep contracts with these companies even though the labor will be slightly more expensive. (human rights does cost money sometimes...) Nike then absorbs this small cost, and the cost of apparel only rises a slight amount. All while allowing the workers to retain their jobs, just with better working conditions.
