There are a number of approaches you can use:

       tab race     if group == `i'
       tab sex      if group ==`i'
       tab race sex if group == `i'
}

Let's say you have groups defined by three-digit SIC codes, which are not consecutive integers, and you want to do more than one thing per group (e.g. run a regression and save the predicted values). Approach 1 will not work, nor will approach 2. A variation on approach 2 is to use foreach:

webuse auto
levels mpg, local(mpgs)
foreach i of local mpgs {
di _n "For mpg = `i' "
summ price if mpg==`i'
tab rep78 if mpg==`i'
}
