Does the term “Latino” conclusively define a class of people all of whom are socially, culturally and politically similar? What “marker” do Latinos exhibit that makes possible their identification and segregation into electoral districts officially tagged “Latino?” On what authority do governments presume to create such geographical districts?
Stinking presumptive inane political manipulation.
I’d guess that it means anyone who identifies himself as “Latino” in the census.
I agree that it’s nuts. Of course gerrymandering has been going on as long as electoral districts have been around (I believe the word itself dates to the early 19th century). All the racial-ethnic divisions do is give Democrats a way to be self-righteous about it, and thus get their way more often.
