Well, I tend to have a little problem with the above research findings. First of all, there are a lot of white Hispanics as well as brown, asian, and black Latinos, since being Hispanic is not considered a race. After all, American Hispanics (since we also have European peninsular ibero Hispanics) like North Americans came for the most part from Europe. However, if the research is focusing not on race but on cultural background then my contention lies in that not all Hispanics or Latinos share the same customs aside from those stemming from the Catholic church. A Caribbean latino does not share the same cultural behavior as a Chilean or Argentinian Latino.
So lumping all latinos together is like lumping all New Yorkers together regardless of race or cultural background.
Just my two cents.Greetings,
