    The Influence of Hispanics in the 2012 Election

    Latino voters completely changed the 2012 election for the United States president. Many of the eligible Latino voters, voted for Barack Obama. But, why? The number of immigrants in the United States has drastically increased since 2008 and they took a different road than expected. Obama’s speech in El Paso, Texas on May 10, 2011 changed the hearts of many Latinos. He said, “The flow of immigrants has helped make this country stronger and more prosperous.” This statement immediately won the hearts of many immigrants who would be eligible to vote in 2012.

    Breaking Latino Stereotypes: Breaking Traditional Gender Norms

    As I was breaking traditional gender norms, I was about to break Latino stereotypes additionally. On November 17th, 2016 is the day my life changed. I was dog-sitting for my uncle while my family enjoy their trip to New York when I got the email. The email read, “Congratulations, you have been accepted to Northeastern University's College of Social Sciences and Humanities.” In total disbelief, I sat down on the couch and made sure that my eyes read the correct information. Being accepted to a prestigious university is a big deal being a Latina woman. Latinas/os are the most underrepresented in high education compared to African-Americans and White students. Their enrollment rates were on average of 46% to 49% (Hernández, 2015). To included…

    Latinos in the U.S.

    Latinos, whether American born or immigrants, have a complex relationship with the United States of America. Ever since the acquisition of what is now known as South Western America and the dramatic increase of Latino immigrants within the last 60 years, Latinos have brought profound political, social, and economic change to America. However, despite American being a “land of immigrants”, there are those who believe that this sudden influx and ever growing Latino population upset the established version of American life and threaten to displace and eventually erode American culture. Leo Chavez describes this xenophobia in what he calls the “Latino Threat Narrative” in his aptly titled book Latino Threat. The Latino Threat Narrative consists of several parts, first which is the belief that Latinos will not, or are unable to, assimilate in America, due to the language and the culture which they bring over from their respective homelands, and secondly, that by arriving in huge waves and settling in the United States, that Latinos are on a quest to “reclaim” the country for their own. (Chavez,The Latino Threat,2). This theory proposed by Chavez mainly focuses on Mexican Americans, as they are the largest Latino group in the United states, and also because Mexicans must also unfortunately accept the stereotype of Mexicans as the “ideal illegal alien”. However, the Latino Threat Narrative can and has applied to the other Spanish speaking groups in America, from Puerto Ricans to Dominicans and Cubans. Despite these claims of being unable to assimilate and replacing American culture, Latino migrants are a prime example of trasnantionalism, as they celebrate their homelands and their status as an American citizen. Events such as the Puerto Rican Day Parades and Cinco De Mayo prove that Latinos do not seek to over write American culture with their own, but instead choose to share it and also are able…

    Multiracial Latinos In Society

    In a nation that boasts such a diverse and colorful population , it is surprising how quick it’s mono racial inhabitants and government are to discriminate and build walls between themselves and their mixed race counterparts. In light of the mixed race Latino, they are one of the major unaccepted groups known to Man. Basically they carry around the image of being partly involved with the Hispanic stigmatized minority group which therefore later insinuates struggles down the road with personal identification development. In such a long run of years various governments and powerful , elite heads of large corporations have aimed their concerns at keeping the…

    Latinos in America

    The United States has been ignorant and oppressive over the Latino people and communities. David Gutierrez and Renato Rosaldo address the problems of how Latinos are shaped and view within the American society, but the authors also demonstrate how this perspective of ignorance towards Hispanics has affected the American society. These authors are motivated to dissect and look into these problems from different viewpoints, and how this image of the “Latino” person has been shaped through the relationships of Latin America and the United States. Before we began to dig in and examine the readings, I assumed these articles would give the reader more historic knowledge of how the USA has been involved with in Lain America, but Rosaldo author of “Latinos Cultural Citizenship” and Gutierrez author of “Demography and The Shifting Boundaries of “community” explore and analyze the meaning citizenship, and how the demographic changes that have occurred through the years has affected the Latino experience and the United States itself.…

    The Latino Community Analysis

    As the Latino community increasingly grows in the U.S., a large majority of individuals rejoice at the inevitable upcoming opportunities for political, economic, and social inclusion. This inevitable inclusion is obtainable primarily because the Latino community promotes itself and is promoted by others as a homogenous whole that is powerful in numbers. This homogeneity, although strategic also fails to recognize that through the same strategy it is also erasing and failing to allocate these future opportunities to every single group within the community and thus buttresses the cycle of subordination established by the dominant powers. Based on five informal interviews I conducted –all college students, four of which come from individuals of…
