“ ‘Race’ is a collective noun applied to those who have lived through good
times as well as bad together for long years, and who have accepted that
they have a common destiny. It is a name given to a group of people who
believe in their distinct, common identity. Although due consideration
should be given to race, religion and language, a true patriotic spirit
depends on a traditional desire to live together through weal or woe.”
