According to the Pew Research Center, the U.S. Hispanic population now stands at 57 million, which makes Hispanics the nation’s second fastest growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S. A large misconception about the Hispanic culture is that it is made up of one ethnicity, or culture. But the definition for a Latin, or Hispanic person is anyone from Spain, or a Spanish decent. That makes the culture a melting pot with over 15 different countries and cultures all bundled up into one.
