If he suffers from prejudice against African ancestry blacks as most Mexicans do, he need not live in a black community here. And, eventually, he will see that there is very little, if any, prejudice against Hispanic professionals. One cannot do anything about the obvious dislike most Americans have for illegals who have jumped the line. That he will experience everywhere. Especially in cities with substantial Hispanic populations.

I was puzzled by the OPs use of Hispanic in the thread title. Hispanics/Latinos don't lump themselves together. They consider themselves Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Spanish, Colombian, etc. They all have different cultures and as you mentioned, extreme beliefs about one another and a strong class system.

It doesn't matter what I say anyway. The OP is going to do what she wants.

I love all the matter-of-fact statements by people who clearly don't know what they're talking about and seem to be posting in the thread merely to stand on a pedestal and pass judgment on people they don't know.

Where did all you terrible posters come from?

Because generally statistics lump them together as hispanics. My husband is Mexican and proud, but when he speaks to others about his race he refers to himself as hispanic.

Columbus is usually regarded as one of the stronger economies and "cleanest" cities in the Midwest. Like all cities it has some declining neighborhoods, but on a whole has some of the nicest inner city neighborhoods in Ohio and is has a great economy.

Hispanic populations:
Cleveland: 11% Hispanic, almost exclusively Puerto Ricans, with tiny sprinkling of Mexicans and other groups
Toledo: 7% Hispanic, predominantly Mexicans
Columbus: 7% Hispanic, mostly Mexicans, with a smaller number of Puerto Ricans among other groups
Cincinnati: 3% Hispanic, tiny sprinkling of Mexicans

About 80-85% of Ohio Hispanics are Mexican or Puerto Rican, (50% Mexican, 35% PR) , the other 15% is probably made up of Cubans, Guatemalans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Colombians.

Puerto Ricans are mainly in Northeast Ohio, especially in cities like Cleveland, Lorian, and Youngstown, among others, and to a lesser degree in the Columbus area as well.

Mexicans are mainly in Toledo and Columbus, and to a lesser degree the Cleveland and Cincinnati areas.

Other Hispanics are mostly in the Columbus area, and to a far lesser degree in Cleveland.

Cleveland's hispanic community is mostly Puerto Rican becuase when immigrants were coming to Cleveland with eastern location it attracted Puerto Ricans.

Puerto Ricans are the second largest hispanic group in Ohio. But they are dominate hispanics in the northeast portion. Cleveland, Lorain, Youngstown all have large PR populations, and theres even a growing number in the Columbus area. Lorain has the highest percentage of Puerto Ricans in the Midwest and Cleveland has the highest when compared to other major cities in the region, areas immediately south & west of downtown and around the Cuyohuga river are dominated by Puerto Ricans.

States like Pennsylvania, NY, & Florida are more popular, but Ohio (Cleveland & Columbus in particular) will gain a Huge boost due to Hurricane maria.

Puerto Ricans are dominant in Cleveland neighborhoods south and west of downtown, and around the Cuyohoga river, neighborhoods like Clark-Fulton, Tremont, and Slavic Village/Broadway. Outside of Cleveland, they are dominant in Lorain (especially South Lorain), Youngstown (mainly the East side).

South Lorain (zip code 44055) has the highest concentration of Hispanics/Puerto Ricans in the state, and possible highest for Puerto Ricans in the Midwest. Its 40% Hispanic by 2010 estimates (probably higher now), the vast majority are Puerto Rican. Similar stats can be found for the East side of Youngstown (44506) and Cleveland in neighborhoods between West 65 Street and Woodland/Kinsman. Theres also small and growing numbers in Campbell, Elyria, Akron, and northeast Columbus (Linden/Northland), as well as various Cleveland suburbs.

if Puerto Ricans are the second largest Hispanic group in Ohio, just wondering what's #1? And although it's not a major city by any means, I would just like to point out that Painesville has one of the largest Mexican populations in Ohio (not that Ohio really has that many Mexicans). The latest guesstimate I read puts Hispanics about 26% of the population (about 5K) with about 80% of those being Mexican. Here are a couple of articles from the past few years profiling the arrival of Mexicans in Painesville (and on election day, two women of Mexican background will appear on the ballot for city council races, the first time I believe this has ever happened in Painesville. And the whole illegal immigration/sanctuary city thing? That's a whole 'nother topic in itself! It never ends. lol)--

Latino businesses in Painesville flourish, but marketing and branding has yet to promote area as a cultural district
