    Beyond the Stereotypes: Hispanic/Latino Families

    Posted on September 15, 2009 in Fact Sheets


    Over the last 30 years the Latino/Hispanic population in the United States has grown seven times faster than the population of the nation as a whole.

Lumping ALL these groups under the rubric of “Latino” or “Hispanic” masks important demographic and socioeconomic differences and perpetuates negative stereotypes.
