Every race has a motto. Don't believe me? You know that dark-haired guy in human resources? The one who acts white, talks white, but doesn't quite look right? Go up to him. Ask him why Mexican goalkeepers play so recklessly or if the food at the taco truck parked outside is really safe to eat. Go ahead. Ask him. Prod him. Rub the back of his flat indio skull and see if he doesn't turn around with the pronunciamiento ¡Por La Raza-todo! ¡Fuera de La Raza-nada! {For the race, everything! Outside the race, nothing!}
