Although I’m not a Newar, I was on this convention couple of years back when it was held at VA. I don’t see it as a racist organization but it was organized badly. We had to pay $20 each for the convention that included dinner along with local home made newari liquor. When our turn came for dinner they ran out of almost everything and the local newari liquor they promised turned out to be vodka. Beside it the place itself was really messy. Hopefully they will do better this time.
