    I appreciated this slideshow, and thought it to be researched except on one point. what are hispanics? First of all, not all Latin-Americans are Hispanic. Brazil was not colonized by Spain. Argentina was colonized by Spain, but has a heavy immigration of Italians and Germans. It seems that if Germans moved to the United States they were white, but if they moved to a South American country, they all of a sudden became Hispanics. Case in point, Giselle Bundchen, the Brazilian model. She’s German descent.
