Regarding earlier posts about "hispanic" voters in USA.
1. The more recent term of art is Latinex, avoiding a presumption of sex superiority and noting that Spanish, while very common as a language and cultural antecedent of these cultures and co-cultures, is not ubiquitous. Portugese, Nuhuatl (sp?), and Mayan influences along with any number of West African influences are part of the Latinex mix.
2. Latinex voters are not a monolith. Cuban descent, especially among older generations, are staunchly GOP on the basis of hate/opposition for the Castro regime. Most of the other Latinex groups are much more divided and many trend Democratic.
