*LatinoIsBrown: Thankfully averted. While most of the Mayans depicted are the typical brown Latino depicted in most USA media, there are Mayans of Caucasian-Latin complexion, like Luisa, Angel, Ibarra (who is blue-eyed even) and Guero.



* LoopholeAbuse: In "Kukulan" two Mayans are harrassing EZ because they were friends/the cousin of a Mayan that EZ revealed to be stealing from the club which got him killed. As a prospect EZ is not allowed to hit a full patched member until Coco "Orders" EZ to beat the crap out of the two of them, when they complain about it, Coco points out he was following a patched brother's orders.

* DyingTown: Santo Padre is a pretty poor town to begin with but it survives due to being close to a border crossing. When the border crossing is closed in season 3, the town quickly goes bankrupt and can't afford basic services like trash collection.

* StealingFromTheTill: After some junkies overdose, the Mayan leaders discover that their heroin has been cut with fentynol. This is not only bad for business (the Mayans have a reputation for selling pure heroin) but it also means that a member is stealing from the club. They send out new shipments of heroin and then intercept the packages before they arrive at their destination. One of the packages has been tampered with and had heroin replaced by fentynol. The Mayan who handled the package is apprehended and then killed by injecting him with his own lethal product.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Most of the characters end up dead, arrested, or traumatized by the series finale, but [[spoiler:Emily Galindo]] is the one character who makes it through mostly unscathed. [[spoiler:She ends up murdering Miguel before he can grant himself immunity, and later kills Luis, framing him to make it seem like a murder-suicide. Because there's no security footage of her, it's likely Emily won't be charged with anything, meaning she and Cristobal can live their lives free of Miguel]].

Added DiffLines:

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the series finale, [[spoiler:Isaac]] begs EZ not to kill him just yet, saying that "this can't be it." and "there has to be more." This eerily mirrors how both the viewers as well as the writers felt going into the final episode, especially given that many plot threads were forced to be resolved quickly, anticlimactically, or not at all. The way EZ blows [[spoiler:Isaac's]] brains out in the middle of him saying "I'm not ready for this to be over" could not further prove the point that the writers ''wanted'' to make the show longer, but couldn't.
