The Latino/Hispanic group is the only ethnic category counted separately by the United States Census.

  • At least five distinctive subgroups that belong under this broad category
  • How people from Africa, both slaves and freemen, became part of the Latino population in Mexico, Central and South America, and the U.S.
  • How Africans in Mexico, Central and South America were absorbed into the Hispanic population, while generally being kept separate in the U.S.
  • How colorism affects membership within the Hispanic/Latino group today (i.e. a Mexican who is Black)
  • The role of language
  • The role of religion
  • The role of culture

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
