Hispanic U.S.A.
In a historic demographic shift, Census officials reported last week that Hispanics have passed African-Americans as the nation's largest minority. What do you think?
Jeff Maggio,
Roofer
"I don't care what you say, Hispanics are not a bigger minority than blacks. Have you seen those guys? They're barely five feet tall."
Chuck Kinnard,
Salesman
"Luckily, I am prepared for this, thanks to bilingual educational programming on PBS. Abierto!... cerrado! Abierto!... cerrado!"
Fred Willets,
Systems Analyst
"I had no idea there were so many Hispanics in this country. They must all be in the back."
Denise Rowe,
Waitress
"Boy, if it's not the blacks, it's the Hispanics. That's it. That's the summation of my feelings on the matter."
J.P. Burlock,
Delivery Driver
"I guess those good-luck candles with the bloody dude on them are actually good for something."
Linda Cort,
Interior Decorator
"There are still tons more whites than any of these minorities, right? Whew."
