Hispanics and Latinos: The Futur

Hispanics and Latinos represent the second largest ethnic group in the United States, next to White (non-Hispanic) Americans. The difference between Hispanics and Latinos is well illustrated by the following image:

They are largely identical except for including or excluding Spanish Americans or Brazilian Americans.

Although still a minority (18.7%) in the population compared to non-Hispanic whites (57.8%), Hispanics and Latinos remain the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. If this trend continues, the percentage of non-Hispanic white Americans will drop to no more than 50% of the population in 20 years. At that point, the power matrix of this country will look very different from that of its origin, the W.A.S.P (white Anglo-Saxon Protestants).

The culture of Hispanic and Latino Americans is very different from the culture of the W.A.S.P. The former is casual, easy-going, fun-seeking, carefree, diverse, and religiously Catholic; the latter is formal, determined, self-disciplined, hard-working, well-organised, and religiously Protestant. The reasons that the U.S. has remained the world's strongest superpower over the past hundred years can be traced to several sources, one of which is the character of WASP. With the decline of non-Hispanic whites and the steady rise of Hispanics and Latinos, America's national character is bound to change. Images such as the Big Boss of the world, the incomparable No. 1, and the international police force will fade from the labels of the United States.

西班牙裔和拉美裔: 美国的未来

西班牙裔和拉美裔是美国的第二大族群，仅次于美国白人（非西班牙裔）。下图很好地解释了这两个术语之间的区别。

除了包括或不包括西班牙裔美国人或巴西裔美国人之外，它们大多是相同的。

尽管与非西班牙裔白人（57.8%）相比，西班牙裔和拉美裔人口仍然是少数（18.7%），但他们仍然是美国最大的增长型族裔群体。如果这种趋势继续下去，在20年内，非西班牙裔美国白人将减少到不超过人口的50%。然后，这个国家的权力矩阵将与它的起源W.A.S.P（白人盎格鲁-撒克逊新教徒）完全不同。

西班牙裔和拉丁裔美国人的文化与W.A.S.P.的文化相差甚远。前者是随意的、松散的、寻求乐趣的、无忧无虑的、五花八门的、宗教上的天主教徒；后者是正式的、有目的的、自律的、勤奋的、有组织的、宗教上是新教徒。在过去的一百年里，美国仍然是世界上最强大的超级大国，其原因可以追溯到多个方面，其中之一就是WASP的性格。随着非西班牙裔白人的衰落和西班牙裔和拉美裔的不断崛起，美国的民族性格必然会发生变化。世界大老板、无可比拟的第一、国际警察等形象将从美国的标签中逐渐消失。
