Ever been to Florida? Most hispanics are "whites" of Spaniard descent. Why should that matter any ways?
Haters' gonna hate, Rob. To the average Midwestern and Southern yokel, Hispanic automatically means
When in reality there are a great many that look like
Guy on the bottom, Robert Rodriguez, is probably way more Texan and American than any of the jokes from the Midwest that move to Texas that proclaim themselves as "Real Americans".

Brazil is a poor example for black Hispanics. I would have said Dominican Republic, there's a higher density of black Hispanics in D.R. than Brazil. Plus, Brazilians are not Hispanic. Latino, yes, but not Hispanic
California has lost over 3,500,000 residents over the past 20 years according to Joel Kotkin, and rest assured that most of those were non-Hispanics, and the forthcoming shortage of children in this state due to a plunging birthrate is going to be devastating for the state within the next 20-30 years as the OC Register recently reported.
Hispanics compose around 40% of the current population of California, although the percentage in the SF Bay area is some 70% lower thanks to the exclusionary policies of Pelosi and her ilk.

Really? Someone better alert the US Census Bureau then, since according to them CA gained 7.5 million people between 1990-2010. Sounds like they screwed up their paperwork.
That's where you're wrong. Neither Brazilian's or Dominican Republican's are Latino unless they live in the U.S. Latino is a designation that is applied to people of Latin American descent that live in the U.S. There are no Latinos in Mexico or Peru or any central or Southern American country.
As for Hispanic, that's a term that is used to designate social class not nationality. When the term Hispanic is used it's usually to refer to people of Latin American descent living in the U.S. who are middle or upper class.
The more you know.
Interesting. These middle and upper class folks have the highest teen birth rate in the nation. They also have the highest high school dropout rate in the nation.
NBC reported today that Hispanics and Whites are now equal in number in California. Since a few hours have passed, Hispanics now must outnumber whites in the Golden State. Next: Texas.
