What counts as “Latino”…as “Hispanic” The problem of “Spanish Origin” 22 Countries satisfy this condition Is it fair to say that anyone from one of these 22 countries is “just like” anyone from another of these 22 countries. How should we view “Latinos” A bloc? Monolithic interests? Pan-ethnicity vs. Groups Who are “Latinos”?
Who are “Latinos”? • Where are “Latinos” from? • “Border Invasion” • Implies the population is largely of Mexican descent. • In fact, it is… • However, substantial populations exist from Central and Latin American nations. • Some Data
Current Estimates and Projections • U.S. Population will be “majority-minority” by about 2050. • Largest growth rate among minority populations are “Hispanic origin” • Remember, we’re tied to Census definitions here. • What will it mean to be a “minority” in the future? • “Minority” status becoming more and more awkward in some local settings.
