brown pride

Latino cultural solidarity

Brown pride is an expression of ethnic pride among people of Latin American, Chicano, or mestizo heritage, celebrating indigenous and mixed-race identity.

The phrase parallels "Black pride" in affirming marginalized identity: Brown pride runs deep in this community.

However, the phrase also appears in prison gang culture and among some white nationalist-adjacent groups, giving it variable connotations depending on context—sometimes empowering self-affirmation, sometimes signaling gang affiliation or racial separatism.
