question 330

Essay

With the expansion of the definitions of Hispanic or Latino as ethnic categories in the 2000 Census, one can predict that this might have significant effects on the American political, legal, justice, economic, and social systems. How do you see the greater use of the terms Hispanic and Latino as having an effect on American society more generally? Do you see this as a positive or negative for society as a whole? What does it say about the consistency and comparability of the Census as a form of sociological data?
