QuoteU.S. Hispanic growth outstrips census estimates: study
PHOENIX | Tue Mar 15, 2011 1:44pm EDT
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Growth of the U.S. Hispanic population is so fast and dynamic that it has outstripped estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau, according to a study released on Tuesday.
The report by the Pew Hispanic Center think-tank found that the Latino population in the 33 states so far tallied in the 2010 Census totaled 38.7 million, 1.5 percent higher than the U.S. Census Bureau's own previous estimates.
The gap between the Census 2010 count and the bureau's projections was widest in states in the Southeast and upper Midwest of the United States which had not previously had large Hispanic populations.
States with the greatest discrepancy included Kansas, Louisiana and Alabama, where the estimates and census tally were adrift by 10.8 percent, 13.2 percent and 15.9 percent respectively.
The projections for the traditional Hispanic destinations of California, Texas and Illinois, meanwhile, were out from the final tally by 0.7 percent, 0.9 percent and 1.1 percent respectively..
"In the traditional Hispanic states the estimates have been very close, but it's in the newer areas where Hispanics have settled in the past ten years or so that the counts are coming in significantly higher," senior demographer Jeffrey S. Passel told Reuters.
"When trends change, demographers aren't very good at picking them up until they have changed quite a bit ... Generally speaking areas and populations that are growing rapidly tend to be underestimated," he added, accounting for the discrepancy.
Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority in the United States.
A previous Census Bureau projection tipped ethnic and racial minorities in the United States to become the majority by 2050, by which time nearly one in three U.S. residents will be Latino.
The full census tally for Hispanics in all U.S. states is expected by the end of March.
There'd be one more to that number had I not intervened on the birth certificate when Tommy was born.

Note how this sample even asks for whether the baby is of Hispanic origin, just to weed out the "white, but not really" ones.

Well, wearing orange on St. Patrick's means you are an asshole or a nationalist. We dont want people making aggressive political statements in work environment.
I suppose you drum beating thugs already know Bushmill's is the Proddy drink, and Jameson's the Papist, right?

Or merely a shit-disturber. :shifty:
But anyways - I'd agree with that sentiment in Belfast, or maybe even Dublin or London. But in Warsaw? Who is going to be offended by a significance nobody understands?
And Yi - no, I did not know that. My Irish Protty relatives drank rum.
Hm, the orange shirt thing is a good idea. :cool:

:unsure: are you being deliberately dense, or are you just unaware?
Orange has a very specific political identification in northern Ireland.
I'm usually on the side of the Irish but I'm also an asshole.
Let's see if I can get away with wearing Orange on thursday.

Of course.
Anyway, I'm pretty certain me wearing orange here at work would offend nobody. Hardly anyone would even know the significance. Cincinnati is full of Catholix, but very few with Irish surnames.

The whole idea behind the Republic of Ireland is the unification of the supporters of William of Orange and the House of Stuart. Hence the flag. I am aware of its meaning in Northern Ireland but just because you come from the Orangist side...well it is not that simple. I am just saying.

Your love of the French belies that.
Wearing my orange shirt, though with WVU playing Clemson I'm going to have to switch to my WVU hoodie at noon.
I apparently don't own an orange shirt or anything with orange on it.
