la raza - Literally ‘the hood’, like the neighborhood, but way more im

Literally ‘the hood’, like the neighborhood, but way more important. It’s for Mexicans and Latinos who think they’re cool, and they’re not wrong.

My friend said, ‘La raza is the reason my neighborhood is so loud.’

My cousin posted, ‘We’re all from the hood, that’s la raza.’

My brother said, ‘I’m from the hood, and that’s all I need to be, la raza.’
