| | Hispanic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There are also Jewish Hispanics, of which most are the descendants of Ashkenazi Jews who migrated from Europe (German Jews, French Jews, Russian Jews, Austrian Jews, Polish Jews, etc.) to Latin America, particularly Argentina, in the 19th century and during and following WWII, and from there to the United States. | | | The usage of term Hispanic in the United States is believed to have come into mainstream prominence following its inclusion in a question in the 1980 U.S. Census, which asked people to voluntarily identify if they were of "Spanish/Hispanic origin or descent". | | | This racial disparity between Cubans on the U.S. mainland and those on the island is caused largely by the fact that most emigrant with the means to flee communist Cuba belong to the upper and upper-middle classes, which have traditionally been predominantly white. |
