: Technically, "Hispanic" only applies to the residents of the island of Hispanola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). Some people of Mexican, South-, and Cental American heritage disavaow this label. "Mestizo/Mestiza" would have been the more accurate term in this context. Consult your local MEChA chapter for details.

SDF: Look, Floyd, sure, they're from all over the Americas, but let's acknowledge that most of the refugees from corporate imperialism that inhabit America's Spanish-speaking communities are from Mexico, and we could see this in California's protests against Proposition 187, when the protesters flew huge Mexican flags on TV and all. I work with these people every day. Didn't you think I knew they were a diverse bunch?

BTW, I'd expect more Colombian refugees soon...
