The Latino Community

Improved Essays
Today, there are many Latino leaders throughout the United States, but the Latino community is still underachieved. The reason is because the Latino community needs more leadership to be developed. By this, I don’t mean that we need well-spoken and charismatic people to begin giving speeches about improving the community, but that we need the average person to contribute to the Latino community. We need people to arrange more workshops about the Hispanic community. Within the workshops, people can discuss immigration, scholarships for Hispanic student, and ideas to further the Latino community. In addition, in the worships we can provide access to more experienced and well achieved mentors to the younger generation to prepare them for tomorrows

    To what extent are Latino ethnic enclaves in Los Angeles beneficial or harmful to immigrant assimilation rates? Latinos are the largest minority group in the United States and population numbers have been increasing for almost a century. After the Immigration and Control Act of 1986 signed by President Ronald Reagan, the Latino population has been booming, especially in cities with an existing high population of Latinos like Miami, New York and Los Angeles.

    On June 16, 2015 when you announced that you were running for president, you shocked the nation. Starting off your presidential campaign by dehumanizing and alienating the entire Latino race was a great tactic to get attention from the media. It is shameful that someone like you, when trying to be the next leader of the United States, would make such arrogant speeches and expect to win. What are you going to do next? Will you make fun of African Americans, Asians, Middle Eastern and Europeans saying that the white race is superior?…

When the US conquered part of the northern Mexico in the 19th century, they seized large land to its territory and also incorporated some groups from the Mexico.

    Just as the minority experience varies amongst minorities because of racial and cultural boundaries, there are similar experiential differences amongst Hispanic populations. I realize that focusing on a particular community is still generalizing, but it is an efficient way to get a broader, yet focused, perspective encompassing a community that would have otherwise been ignored in research that groups all minority experiences under the same umbrella. Border towns interest me because they are unique microcosms of what I like to call “Mexico in the United States”; their populations are typically homogeneously Hispanic, and Mexican language and culture is predominantly practiced. They are also an even further marginalized group within the Latino academic community, as conventional Latino work focuses on communities where Latinos are the literal minority of the population. In border town communities, however, Hispanics are the majority, making any person of anglo-background in these communities the “minority”.…

    In UCR, 36% of the student population in a campus of 31,000 is Latino, Navarro recalls that in many summits and events that he has organized only a handful of students and a small amount of Latino faculty turnout to support. Navarro feels that many UCR students lack an interest in civil rights in contrast with counterparts from his generation. This significant cultural mental shift to the individual from the collective with newer generations is also reflected on the lack of interest from students to participate in supporting the Ethnic Studies department on campus, which the Chicano movement fought to implement. Our communities are short of much needed leaders. Dr. Navarro firmly believes that we need to re-equip ourselves with a new movement…
