Hispanic

Hispanics, furthermore known as Chicanas/os or Latinas/os, are the largest ethnic minority group in the joined States. In 2001, the U.S. Census reported that Hispanics constituted 12% of the U.S. population, with 66% of these identifying as Mexican-heritage. However, this percentage underestimates the large number of Hispanics that enter the United States illegally and are routinely missed by census workers.

Hispanic families instill in their children the importance of honor, decency and respect for authority and elders. Spanish language maintenance within the family is a common practice in most Hispanic households.(Groves 1985)
