Prav;

Yes, quite clear. Thank you for an intelligent response to 
my original question. BTW, in demographers' usage "Hispanos" 
is a special usage for people in the New Mexico area whose 
Spanish  descent is from the original explorers (the Conquistadors). 
They are totally assimilated and often non-Spanish-speaking 
with only surnames to connect this group to Spanish origin.
