Abstract
Reviews the status of Mexican Americans as a class under current law Reveals a fundamental incongruity while those who discriminate against Latinos can tell who they are courts and judges profess that they are unable to do so leaving many wrongs without a remedy Addresses the difficulty courts encounter in perceiving the group as a class and discusses a number of ways to help delineate one Concludes the problem is eminently capable of resolution and suggests ways of doing so
