ABSTRACT

Latin@s are the fastest-growing minoritized group in the United States, now

totaling 16% of the total population. Between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic

population grew 43%, accounting for over half of the 27.3 million total popu-

lation growth in the United States (Humes, Jones, & Ramirez, 2010). This can

be compared with the number of people who reported their race as White, which

grew by only 1% (Humes et al., 2010).
