I was among those who participated in the affinity groups at the recent Stand Against AIDS in Oxford, MS, and I am pleased to see it mentioned and discussed here. It was an invigorating and empowering event. I just wanted to take this opportunity to assure one other commenter on this article that indeed, culturally diverse Latino perspectives -- *from* the Latino perspective rather than the dominant perspective -- were represented. Moreover, the importance of overcoming racism in fighting this epidemic was a viewpoint frequently expressed during the meetings, and I expect it will be a central point of the document to finally emerge from the group's work.
