Hispanics And Asians: A Case Study

In 2004, the United States Census Bureau (2015) indicated there were approximately fifty-four million Hispanics in the United States, making up seventeen percent of the population. Hispanics who migrates to other places, whether it’s a country, state or city are faced with challenges; one being discrimination.

Throughout this first chapter of Latino Americans the key points in my opinion were the following. Starting with the origin story of the Americas, the book mentions there might not be a definitive starting point because there “500 nations in North America before a European ship ever dropped anchor off the Eastern Seaboard” (Suarez 3). The book from this point on chronologically starts narrating, first about 55 years before Protestant refugees from Mayflower ever stepped on American soil, a Spanish sailor Pedro Menendez de Aviles forced French protestants from their Florida coast settlement to then stablish St. Augustine. From this point the book continues to tell the stories of Juan de Oñate, from witnessing the founding of Santa Fe, the oldest capital of North America, to exploring more than half a dozen of American states, he is one of the most fundamental conquistadors who is the least

Does it matter what we are called: Latino or Hispanic? Does it change who we are as people? To an extent, most people do not know the difference between either. Typically, people group both terms as one singular item. However, Hispanic and Latino racial classifications are more than a broad category for people from Spanish-speaking countries. The words connote and represent a history of colonial terminology that based its success on the failures of innocent, historically peaceful, cultural groups. Hispanic and Latino terminology are political and economic in every sense. This paper will show that colonial leanings to control and govern people’s lives have yet to culminate, even though the era of imperialism ended a century ago. The United States, although far from its heyday as the singular house of power, still manages to achieve control and influence over the imperialized minds of groups of people, specifically Hispanics and Latinos.

A. In the coming decades, Hispanic/Latinos will continue to have a significant effect on the work forces as they will account for 60 percent of the Nation’s population growth between 2005 and 2050.

The American Dream for everyone alike is to prosper and succeed in a land that individuals are determined to call their own. Almost every immigrant that has entered the United States has done so in hopes of finding a better life for themselves and for their families. For most Hispanic-Americans, the goal was the same. Hispanic-Americans come from a variety of different Spanish-speaking countries. Just as the wave of immigrants from Europe came to the United States of America in the late 1800's and early 1900's, Hispanics came from places like Mexico, South and Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. Although everyone came with the same goal in mind, to make sure their families would have a better life in a new environment, each subgroup within the Hispanic community faced different circumstances once they arrived in the United States and have different definitions of what it feels like to be an American.

Thank you for the post, it was informative and educational. Adding some highlights on the health disparities between the Latinos and the Caucasian, there is greater socioeconomic difference between the Caucasian. According to the 2000 census, the number of Latinos in the United States has increased by approximately 60 percent, from 23 million in 1990 to 35.3 million in 2000 (Leo, Marielena, Raynard, Robert, & Jose, 2002). Statistics illustrates that the Latinos population is one of the fastest-growing racial/ethnic groups in the United States today.

Underrepresented Minorities is a big topic that I felt covering in this class was necessary, especially on the leadership viewpoint. Being part of the Latino community, we have struggles of being misrepresented, especially lately in the social media concerning Donald Trump. His comments hit home with many of us and drew many Latinos to attention that we are underrepresented as a community within the minority category.

For 20 years, Asian Americans have been portrayed by the press and the media as a successful minority. Asian Americans are believed to benefit from astounding achievements in education, rising occupational statuses, increasing income, and are problem-fee in mental health and crime. The idea of Asian Americans as a model minority has become the central theme in media portrayal of Asian Americans since the middle 1960s. The term model minority is given to a minority group that exhibits middle class characteristics, and attains some measure of success on its own without special programs or welfare. Asian Americans are seen as a model minority because even though they have faced prejudice and

An analysis was done on the large population of Latinos in America by The Pew Research Center of U.S. Census Bureau. Results following the test showed that the Dispersion and growth of the population has slowed since the Great Recession happened in December of 2007. The Latino population had been on a steady growth from 2000 to 2007 which was at an all time high of 4.4%, but has slowly fallen to a mere 2.4% in the following years. A major factor as to why this is happening is Immigration and birth rates in America shifting drastically. This is most likely due to Border enforcement that has been put in effect in the past years. The large Growth in population that started around 1990s was due to the fact that the people immigrating

The majority of the current organizational cultural studies have been focused on a traditional population model, where immigrants are the quantitative minority within a substantially larger native population. This creates a problem because there is a knowledge gap about the process of acculturation of immigrants into a country in regions where they are the overwhelming majority of the population. The purpose of this dissertation was to study the process of acculturation of Hispanic immigrants in the Miami-Dade County where they are the majority, into the more general U.S. culture. To do so, this dissertation used a quantitative descriptive research methodology, based on the original Cultural Dimensions theory by Dr. Hofstede, to study the cultural

Yes, I do feel that the efforts to gain equal rights and right for traditionally excluded people are still incomplete. Society is still suffering from the after effects of slavery. Although, we as a society are looked at as all human beings with the same life value, it is not that simple. The efforts for everyone to be equal has made a tremendous improvement it still has not done enough to say that we are all equal in society. The African Americans community and Hispanic community are very inferior to the Caucasian community. Society has made it very clear about how they feel about the African American and Hispanic community. The media, television, education is very stereotypical on the “inferior” communities. The media have depicted African Americans as ghetto, uneducated, Drug Lords, crack victims and classless.

I never heard the expression model minority until I read Chapter 12. The book stated that Asian Americans were considered a model minority as “although they have experienced prejudice and discrimination, they seem to have succeeded economically, socially, and educationally without resorting to political or violent confrontations with Whites” (Schaefer, 2015, p 264).
