Cardozo, Sotomayor, and "Hispanic":
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_05_24-2009_05_30.shtml#1243545685
The [1]Pew Research Center has an interesting item on the subject. An
interesting item (one of many in the piece):
[S]ome 99% of all immigrants from Mexico call themselves Hispanic.
But just 87% of immigrants from Venezuela adopt this label, as do
86% of immigrants from Argentina, 70% of immigrants from Spain and
only 67% from Panama. As for race, 54% of all Hispanics in the U.S.
self-identify as white, 1.5% self-identify as black, 40% do not
identify with any race and 3.8% identify as being two or more
races.
Thanks to Prof. J. Michael Bitzer for the pointer.
