La raza (Spanish: "The race") or "La raza mexicana" is a term which many Mexicans commonly use to denote mestizo ancestry. In the U.S. Census, many Mexican-Americans or Chicanos described themselves as "some other race" to express mestizo pride. Being "la raza" or mestizo does not necessarily mean that the person is of mixed white and Amerindian ancestry, but it is usually used as an indication of ethnical or cultural pride.
