Day of the Race; though some countries celebrate it as Columbus Day, or under other names. Let me tell you why.
In the 15th century, an Italian sailor named Christopher Columbus thought he had found a new and shorter route to India, which was a trading partner of many countries in Europe. It took him eight years to convince Queen Isabella of Spain to pay for his journey. He left with three small ships; you probably know their names: La Niña, La Pinta, and La Santa María. And, on October 12th, 1492, he landed on an island in the Bahamas, thinking he was in India

1. October 12
2. Day of the race. Dia de la Hispanidad in Spain.
3. Mestizo is some guy with mixed blood.
4. Giovanni Cabot was Italian. Why do English people consider him an english explorer???
Now, seriously, Spanish people celebrate this date because it was the discovery of a new world and because of what it represented for us and for the world. And we did it. Not Italy or Evil Albion. Those ships had a Castillian flag you know...

Because he was sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel of Spain a set sail from Barcelona.
In Spain it is known as Día de la Hispanidad.
Meztizo is mixed blood.

La Raza is an evil pro-illegal group. Sounds like day of la Raza, which would be day of the race. Sounds pretty supremacist to me.
