I read his posts and I think he believes what he says, but then I watched this video and feel like I'm being trolled becsuse I find it hard to believe that this guy means half of what he writes on here. I'm baffled. No disrespect either. I just can't make sense of it. Agree to disagree I guess.

The Invention of Hispanics

Before 1970, the US Census Bureau classified Mexican, Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants as whites. Each community of Latin American origin would go by their nationality and by the region where they lived in the United States. But all that changed in the seventies, as activists began lobbying the US Census Bureau to create a broad, national category that included all these communities. The result was the creation of the term “Hispanic”, first introduced in the US Census in 1970.

Then it was up to Spanish-language media to get the word out. The network that would later become Univision released this series of ads calling on “Hispanics” to fill out the 1980 Census. The ads feature “Hispanic” sports stars and… Big Bird:


By the 1990s, Univision was creating the images and sounds associated to Hispanics in the US. The 1990 Census ads feature the likes of Tito Puente and Celia Cruz telling Hispanics to fill out el censo:



Maria Hinojosa interviews author and scholar G. Cristina Mora about origins of the term, the people that crafted it, and what it actually means to be Hispanic in the United States today.

ninja talking like this move by the government is a sign of progression. government officials are probably laughing and saying go ahead and give them their own. it's meaningless issues like this that distract people like ninja who don't think there is bigger social oppression going on.

I've asked here if Equatoguineans, Cape Verdeans, Mozambicans, and Angolans are also included in the Hispanic category.

I have yet to get an answer.

Are they also waiting for da 2020 census?

laugh all u want...till Hispanics outnumber everybody else in da Census...then you'll see what happens when we control da budgets :lol:

2020..wait on it :pimp:
 
you honestly make the humble hispanic/latin people feel shameful. at least for me knowing that you pride yourself more on just because you speak the language and not the ugly history behind it.

so what did you choose in the previous census ? you still haven't answered

you act like americans are the only ones so kean on race relations, yet you are so hung up on being your own separate box and identify.
