La Raza

I somewhat get you, amigo.

I wish you'd write more.

Did you get to know some mexican people in California?

Sure, I got to know mexican people in mexico. Some, including in Mexico df, but I'm still dumb.

Honey, I'm not going to list latinos/latinas in LA of my friends.

There are Mexican people in California ? Are there Californian people in Mexico ? Just pulling your leg Muchacho.

Well, back in the day, I could understand all the viva la raza and campesino theater. I am surely no one to listen to on the history of Mexico, but I remain interested.

Long live the people

Viva la raza!

Amigo, la raza reminds me of the italian famiglia. Keep telling us more.

Many decades ago, some Mexicans lived next to me in Arizona.

Please Amigo!

"La Raza" is a respected civil rights group (and a rather moderate one at that). I think you are using the term as "the people", but racist groups have quite a campaign to defame NCLR and the Hispanics they advocate for.

I never hear African-Americans apologizing for the NAACP-- and there is a lot more to either of these groups then gangs.

Osso, you misunderstand.

The term "La Raza" (short for "La Raza Cosmica"; the cosmic race) is a literary term meaning the Hispanic people. The term has no connection whatsoever with gang activity.

(The phrase "The Family" does have gang connection in both Spanish and Italian.)

This from wikipedia:
The phrase, "La raza cósmica", in English "the cosmic race", embodies the notion that traditional, exclusive concepts of race and nationality can be transcended in the name of humanity's common destiny. It originally referred to a movement by Mexican intellectuals during the 1920s[citation needed] who pointed out that Latin Americans have the blood of all the world's races (White Europeans, Asian-descended Native-Americans and Black Africans), transcending the peoples of the "old world".

Vasconcelos also used the term when he coined the National Autonomous University of Mexico's motto: "Por mi raza hablará el espíritu".

It has come, often in its shortened version "La Raza", to refer to the mixed race people of Latin America, i.e., primarily mestizos, mulattos, and zambos or all three combined. Vasconcelos also used the expression, "la raza de bronce" ("the bronze race"), in this same sense.[citation needed]
