Trouble using strings in If statements using OR

I am trying to loop through and use IF statement as example:
if race == "H2" | "H1" | "H3" | "H4"
but I get error "Error using |
Input must be text or pattern."
If I try: race == "H2" || "H1" || "H3" || "H4"
I get error:
Conversion to logical from string is not possible.
"H1" and so forth are strings in Matlab
Thank you!

if race == "H2" || race == "H1" || race == "H3" || race == "H4"

Or alternately
if ismember(race, ["H1", "H2", "H3", "H4"])
