Talk:Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans

This Article is a Joke!
I see that User:CARLMART created this article, which is nothing more than a duplicate of another article he already created, Asian Hispanic. I already had problems with that previous article, and you can see my complaint in its talk page.

The reason why I find this article a joke because little is known about Asian Hispanics. The only thing that proves they are in the United States is the US census. My problem is this article is nothing more that a rip-off of the White Hispanic and Latino Americans article, except everywhere that mentions White is replaced with Asian. This article has no sources to back up the claims in this article. The biggest BS in this article is the "Representation" section. It claims that Asian Hispanics are in Hollywood, I am trying to find Asian Hispanic celebrities as this article claim, but there are none. The "Representation" section is the same Representation section in White Hispanic and Latino Americans.

This article needs to be fixed and needs sources. And why did it needed to be duplicated? One of the two articles needs to be deleted. I can understand the White Hispanic and Black Hispanic article since these people are notable, but Asian Hispanics are not notable. I actually believe both Asian Hispanic article should be deleted for lack of notability. The Asian Latin American talk about them in a small section, and I believe that is OK. Why does it need a separate article? Lehoiberri (talk) 22:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * What do you think? I kept the little paragraph about intermarriage because it seems reasonable and sourceable. The ancestry of the pictured people can be sourced; I've read about both of them, and could reference them myself. I went even further here than at the Native Americans article, by removing the geographic areas, religions, and languages info in the infobox. All that was OR.


 * You were right about that Representation section. It was either not there the couple of times when I dropped by, or I didn't read much of this article before. (I probably didn't want to: afraid of what kind of stuff I might see!) SamEV (talk) 03:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

More issues with this Article!!
There is a anonymous user with multiple IPs that keep undoing my edits. That is my removal of Daniella Alonso. Daniella Alonso is pictured here and she is basically labeled as Asian. She is 1/4 Japanese, so she is not consider Asian anymore. But for some reason the anon views her as Asian. According to his/her point of view, that means anyone who is 1/4 White is White. That mean Bill Richardson, who's grandfather is White, is a White American.

Now for another issue, the useless resources. I am sorry Kman543210, but the sources you listed doesn't mention Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans. The resources you listed basically make this article look even more of a rip-off of White Hispanics. Find better sources.

Like I said in the section above, very little is known about Asian Hispanics, so I don't know why we even have this article. Asian Latin American has a section about Asian Hispanic/Latino, and it seems find and perfect for an unknown community in the US. This article has no notability. Every time my edits are reverse for no good reason, the more I feel like sending this article to WP:AFD. Lehoiberri (talk) 03:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you're talking about on the "resources". I haven't added any resources but rather the main source for the estimate of Asian Hispanics in the United States (286,512 according to the July 2007 estimates from the Census Bureau). I partially reverted your edit because you deleted the reference list for inline citations. Any article that is going to have referenced material needs this at the bottom to show the inline citations. Please take a look at my edit here  to see that I did not add back in the "external links".  The U.S. Census Bureau would be the most reliable source for the estimated number of Asian Hispanics in the United States.  I shan't argue the merits of the article, but the only cited source in the article that I had previously added is very reliable and relevant. Kman543210 (talk) 04:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Change from Redirect
In a recent edit, this article was created in place of a redirect. The article was originally created in 2008, and whittled down into a redirect. Is there consensus for this?

I shall invite interested editors from associated wikiprojects and previous editors to this discussion. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks like a slight improvement over the version that I redirected. Although the content about the geographical distribution of the group is unsourced, I suppose it can be sourced. The question does remain whether there's enough info about this sub-group in reliable sources for it to develop into much more than the stub it currently is. SamEV (talk) 22:22, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

More Emphasis on Filipino Americans?
While most Americans don't automatically think of the Philippines as part of Latin America, it was a Spanish colony for over three hundred years, which had a huge influence on the culture, especially religion (over 90% are now Catholic) but also cuisine, language, etc. In many respects Filipino culture became a mix of Asian and Hispanic influences. I know a number of Filipino Americans who will classify themselves as Hispanic on a questionnaire if it is listed separately from race (such as "Are you Hispanic or non-Hispanic?"). They identify as "Hispanics of Asian descent". Perhaps this article could be given more weight if this was included and expanded upon? It's tricky because not all Filipino Americans self-identify this way since "Hispanic" has often been confused with race in the United States...but on the other hand I have never met a single Filipino who denies the Spanish components of their culture. 107.24.255.60 (talk) 07:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You can add any content you wish; that being said remember that the burden of providing reliable source references to support the content is on the editor adding said content. Furthermore, it needs to be balanced in order to maintain a neutral point of view. That is, if you say a noted population of Filipino Americans self-identify as Hispanics/Latinos, it needs to be counterbalanced or worded in a way that makes it known that this is X amount of the population, and not all of the population so self-identifies.
 * If a section is created, perhaps it can be under Filipino Americans; and if not, a wikilink to the new content can be created and added to an appropriate section in said article. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
