...embargo, m?s que cualquier otro grupo, los hispanos no son f?ciles de catalogar. Mejicanos, cubanos y argentinos hablan todos el mismo idioma, pero muchos rechazar?an ser identificados como un mismo grupo. Un buen n?mero de hispanos nacidos en EE.UU. no habla espa?ol, y muchos tienen poca o ninguna gota de sangre europea. En efecto, la categor?a ?hispano" es un invento anglo que fue usada por primera vez por la Oficina del Censo en 1980, y la ?nica que tiene base en la cultura e idioma, y no en la raza.

...stopped in a tattoo parlor as three teenage girls from Queens, in J. Lo jackets and spray-on jeans, hovered nervously at the counter. I wondered whether to buy a new car radio at Taj Mahal Stereo or at the place that advertises WORLD LARGEST SPEAKER SELECTIONS--SE HABLA ESPANOL. Then lunch: Dim sum, falafel or Tex-Mex tortillas?

One of my room-mates spent the better part of an afternoon shrieking, "Habla Ingles?" into a telephone without getting an intelligible response--but it might have been the connection...
...habla espanol -- English only spoken here. When it comes to language, however, Californians showed little tolerance for speaking in foreign tongues. In polyglot California, where Spanish is practically a necessity and Korean is not a rarity, voters passed a measure making English the "official" language. Many saw the vote as a sign of xenophobia. Larry Berg, a professor of political science at the University of Southern California, describes the vote as reflecting "no-nothing, nativist resentment toward this massive influx of people." But former Senator S.I. Hayakawa, a formidable semanticist who led the crusade, promised it was not meant...
