Because there are twenty different countries that speak Spanish.
And not all Hispanics are brown or the same race.
And since Hispanics are about 20 percent of the country's population, or at least that of the state. It is good to know at least some basic differences, like Puerto Ricans are automatic U.S. citizens, while Mexicans aren't.
I doubt there are too many Canadian French or Saudi Arabians in this state, however.
