Other South American 19,356 0.0
Paraguayan 18,179 0.0
Total 48,348,144 100.0%
Thus 2/3 of the Latinos in the USA are Mexican/Mexican origin.
But as much of the southern half of the USA used to be ruled by Mexico, this is hardly surprising.

Jun 04th, 2011 - 06:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why English speakers are always so superficial on geography and when classifying things or people?
What makes a person to be considered as a “Latino”?
You have made a salad. Lack of literature perhaps Geoff?
Superficial comment, Nico.
Jun 04th, 2011 - 11:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Latino: “In the United States, the term is in official use in the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino, defined as ”a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.“”
You will find the list above comprises ALL Latin origins - the Americas for hispanic and latin and European Iberian (for this purpose Italian-latin genes are separately grouped) - this is where the latino genes come from.
The Pew data is the most powerful in the world on this topic (and therefore recommended to you).
In the link I gave you you will find information on immigration patterns, demographic patterns, subsequent generational dispersion patterns, in fact everything you need to know.
We just await the next US census to generate the next tranche of researched statistics.
Interestingly, Pew does not disregard differential responses by wetbacks and legal immigrants from Latin America.
I think your knowledge is a little less than you claim.

Latino is not the same as Hispanic or Spanish or whatever they call Spanish speakers.
Definition:
Latino refers to countries and cultures that were once influenced or under the Roman Empire rule regardless of race, creed or colour.
Now take a look of the Roman Empire map to see what is Latino.

Now suppose that someone classifies people from Pakistan, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Philippines, Jamaica, Scotland, Wales, etc. as English.
Sure you would say that this person is a complete ignorant and that never read a book.
As I said before English speakers are very superficial when comes to geography, history and culture related topics. Because most of what they were told was base on myths and fairy tales and not based on scientific or historic evidence like the myth that you are Anglo-Saxon.

Spanish is a nationality. Period.
Jun 06th, 2011 - 04:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hispanic is not a race, but a group of people who's main language is Spanish.
Latin is an Italic language, originally spoken in Latium (lazio) and Ancient Rome. Even wikipedia gets that right. Romantic/Romane languages are (I only type the major ones)..Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Romanian.
Is Canada also partly a “Latin Nation”?
Let's read that from the “experts”, but I type yes, because they also speak French. Uhmm, so if your main language is from the Romances languages, are you a latin? what about a japanese/chinese that speaks Portuguese or Spanish. are they latino/hispanic?
Just think about it and than i'm sure, with common sense, that the whole so called race “hispanic” is ridiculous and continued used by ignorants (people who refuse to learn the facts why it isn't a race)
Who created the so called race/group “Hispanic”? Ford Foundation during the Nixon Administration. Ford Foundation famous for it's “Divide and Conquer” concept.
A Mexican Indian is not a Latino, a guy from Brasil is not a Hispanic ..... now they have Latinos white and Non white .... wtf??

Jun 06th, 2011 - 08:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Britain is the result of the mix of Northern Spanish, Romans and Celts what made the Britons.
Britain was dominated for the Romans for about 500 years, the made the roads, modern constructions, pipes, gave the name of the cities Like Londinium (London) etc, etc.
The same process as was carried out in France and Spain.
In fact most of the soldiers (legions) used to invade Britain were from The Hispana Legions like the Legio IX Hispana from Hispania (Spain), Augusta, etc.
See invasion of Britain for the Legio IX Hispana.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_invasion_of_Britain
So we can say that an English men is basically an Spanish who speak a funny type of French and that sadly (for Germans) thinks he is German.
Pretty much Latinos I guess Ha ha ha
: )
No, I think it is not so.
Jun 07th, 2011 - 10:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0My guess is that the USA adopted the word Latino to characterise people within the USA with origins in the Caribbean, Central America and South America, except where their genetic stock was predominantly negroid.
The UK & EU have a similar problem of specificity with the Roma, who *may* come from Romania but are more likely to have come from elsewhere. Such is the nature of a diaspora of genes/peoples.
The 'Wandering Jews' of history and literature present the same diasporic issue - though these genes/peoples remain uncatagorised in nations' censuses.
The USA Census has a specific problem getting a handle on Arabs and Iranians within the USA. In the 2010 Census it used the 'Some other Race' category for self-declaration - which proved ineffective.
