"Before 1980 the US census did not even record Hispanic origin when it surveyed the country's residents. Today Hispanics have surpassed African Americans as the nation's largest minority group, and the latest census estimates (July 2003) indicate that there are 40 million Hispanics in the United States, 13% of the population... Census projections indicate that my mid-century Hispanics will be one-quarter of the US population. But who are the nation's Hispanics. They are poorly understood by most Americans, who have only the vaguest sense of the Hispanic population's diversity and geopgraphic spread" (Hector Tobar. "Changing face of the nation." Weekly Guardian, 27.05.05: 27).
