According to the Wikipedia, the Hispanics in the United States or Hispanic Americans are an ethnic group in the United States with Hispanic heritage. A Hispanic person may be of any race (Amerindian, Mixed-race, white, black, and Asian), and does not have to be one who speaks Spanish.
The US Census Press Releases show the estimated Hispanic population of the United States as of July 1, 2004, is 41.3 million, making people of Hispanic origin the nation’s largest race or ethnic minority. Hispanics constituted 14 percent of the nation’s total population. (This estimate does not include the 3.9 million residents of Puerto Rico.) The Census bureau projects that the U.S. Hispanic population will reach 102.6 million by 2050.
