tell the truth DE and not some half-lies ~ RHF

"Raza" does not mean "Mexicnas." It means blue collar Mexicans, mostly in
the USA. A middle class Mexican or Mexican American will not be "raza" and
will be, on occasion, offended if called "raza" because it is demenaning to
most better educated and cultured pople.

"Raza" when applied to one person means "buddy" or "bro" and to a group,
"brotherhood" or "all of the folks like me."

An LA radio station's morning personality had billboards that said, "El
Cucuy es raza" meaning "Cucuy (the guy's nickname) is one of the common
people."
