You can call me Mexican/American, Latino, Hispanic, Chicano, American/Mexican. But DONT CALL ME LATINX!! I don’t care what John Leguezamo ( what ever his name is) says!! Great video.
I first became aware of the influx of Hispanics here in South Carolina in the early 90’s . The response of the locals was pretty negative which came as no surprise since any kind of change is viewed as “bad”. Due to the job I had at the time I had a good bit of interaction with our new neighbors. I learned that for the most part these folks were family oriented and hard working. Their arrival kind of saved our only Catholic Church as the normal congregation of mostly transplants from northern states was aging out. Fast forward to today and I now have a Hispanic son in law that my daughter met while she was living in Burbank. His family is an amazing group of people that I am proud to be related to. Thank you so much for this video.
Glad your family could accept the Latinos moving into SC. My moms family welcomed them as well and even accepted my father when my mom married him, being the first in her family to ever marry outside of a white guy.
@@matthewreyes2401 Our son in law’s family was a huge help to our daughter when she lived in California . She had some bad experiences with a few people that had offered her a room to rent. This family took her in like she was one of their own. My wife is part Native American and she had trouble with rejection from the parents of classmates growing up so we are maybe a little more aware of how outsiders can be treated badly.
As a white person who lived on the eastern side of Los Angeles in a majority Hispanic town, I never knew how strongly Hispanic culture has become a part of me until I joined the military and left home. All our neighbors are Hispanic and my Mom has learned to cook some great tasting Mexican food over the years. So when I joined the military and went to boot camp I nearly starved. I am not exaggerating the food was so bland in boot camp, I had to force myself to eat it. I left boot camp thin as a rail. As the military moved me around the US from one duty station to another, one of the first things I would do is seek out the best Mexican food nearest base. There are other qualities of Hispanic life I love, the music, the sense of family, etc. But now that I am out of the military, I don't think I could ever live in an area where there are not plenty of Mexican restaurants.
Except there’s no such thing as hispanic culture. That’s like saying European culture. People from Columbia have nothing in common with people from Argentina, people from Puerto Rico, have nothing in common with people from El Salvador, etc. Latin America is a geographic location, like Europe, consisting of many different sovereign nations, each with their own histories, cultures and customs. Even the Spanish spoken is different. In example, if I said, hey, let’s go out to eat European food, what exactly would that mean to you? Similarly, when people say Hispanic or Spanish culture, it really doesn’t mean anything.
@Carlos Andrade That is just not accurate. Australians and Canadians speak English, yet their culture, customs and history is complete different from Americans. This is a fact, not an opinion, which is based on historical records and cultural customs. Moreover, India has two official languages, English and Hindi. Now, who would seriously claim that the English speaking people of India have anything in common with Americans, Australians and Canadians? Mexico is a sovereign nation with a rich culture and unique customs and history, which is completely different from every other country in Latin America. Allowing others to “dilute” your unique culture, history and customs by lumping all of it into some ignorant and lazy generalization is not really doing you any favors in the long run. Think about it for a second, why is it that when people come to the US from Europe, they are identified according to the country they are from, yet when people from Latin America come here, they’re not afforded the same respect and courtesy? To reiterate, you’re missing the big picture here.
I lived in LA for 12 years. Met many awesome people from down south. Worked along side some cool characters. Ended up picking up a little Spanish just from exposure.
Something else I’d like to add to your comment, “as a white person…” The northern part of the Americas was not the only place that white Europeans colonized. Therefore, white people actually exist outside of the US and Canada, just like black, Asian and native people.
@@aldridkg Oh and by saying "as a white person" and saying where they are from you don't have to go b1tch and cry that white people exist everywhere. They are referring to themselves and retelling their experience.
Great video Briggs! As a life long West Texan I really enjoyed this one. About 60%of the county population is Hispanic. Warm, hardworking, down to earth folks.
I just love Hispanic/Latino cultures. I lived in AZ most of my life prior to moving out of state. It's one of the aspects of AZ that I miss the most - the culture. One of the warmest, most friendly and welcoming cultures out there.
I moved to west Texas for work for a year. Most of my patients were Hispanic/Latinos and they were very kind and welcoming. They would talk to me in Spanish and call me "mija" even though I was not Hispanic. 😂 Now I'm back home and I work in a primarily Hispanic community. Most treat me like familia.❤️
I really like how you narrate your videos. Besides the videos overall being interesting and informative to watch, your intros attempting to minimize some of the nonsense any TH-camr knows they are going to get just provide added entertainment value. Keep up the good work!
As a Hispanic who has lived in New Mexico their entire life, I can vouch for us having the largest Hispanic population. If you've ever been here or heard of New Mexico, you get slapped with Hispanic heritage as soon as you enter the state. 🤣 Great video, Briggs! Thanks for cranking out some amazing videos! 👏🏽
@@merrymata2547 new Mexico was only part of Mexico 20years. It was part of Spain for hundreds. We in in nm dont identify as Mexican but Spanish. We are proud of our Spanish and indigenous roots. Most of us been here since the 1500s
Hola! that's right Hispanic culture is gorgeous. I'm Mexican-American, and I'm proud of my two countries. U.S.A!!! ¡Viva México! Viva todo el continente americano, desde Alaksa hasta Chile y Argentina!!
The culture is nice. I speak some French and Spanish. And I like many Latin artists who sing and play music such as Dalida, Jeanette, and Giani Nannini. My father's side of the family came from Romania. I have read many jornadas from Mexico, and I almost feel like weeping with all the escroquerie/estafa and extortion that happens to poor people as well as the narcos who bribe and intimidate los togados, the judges. There are the trovadores who sing corridos/ballads on Mexican narcos. I would like too see more of the culture come with none of the corruption attached. I think if Latin America could upgrade to governments that operate more like the Anglo governments then the people could really prosper. Au revoir/via con dios.
At 0:32 ...I'm white, but I grew up in Dallas, which has a very large Latino population...I'd say more than half my friends (including my best friend) were Mexican American and Puerto Ricans...and many of my girlfriends were Latinas (Included one I lost my "innocence" to)...and I am married to a Latina...we just celebrated our 35th anniversary...so I have lived most of my life immersed into this friendly, loving, and deeply family oriented culture...
Yes and in Chicago many snow bunnies love the brown meat in their throats I can say I’ve lived most of my life immersed into the friendly snow bunny blizzard;)
I’m married to a “Latina” is the equivalent of saying you’re married to a European. What the heck does that mean? Other than assuming your wife speaks Spanish, that comment says zero about her. Mainly because there’s no such thing as “Latin” culture.
As a Cuban-American who grew up in Miami, I NEVER heard of a debate whether we are Caribbean or Hispanic. We are BOTH! The Caribbean is a very diverse region. I mean culturally we got more in common with someone from Colombia, even Pacific Colombia, than someone from Jamaica or Haiti, but we do share that Caribbean zest. We also arent a single race but a collection of races. We may be white, black, mulatto, mestizo, Asian, Arab etc.
If you're born and raised in the United States you're simply American . " Cuban Americans " and Cubans from Cuba are 2 different things. Most Cubans I've met living in Europe and throughout the U.S ( not Miami )want nothing to do with " Miami Cubans " .
@@Utubedeletescomments I was born in Cuba. And shut up the only real Americans are the American Indians. I dont like most Miami Cubans either lol I live in Minneapolis now.
Most people from Latin America or the Caribbean do not describe themselves as Spanish. Hispanic or Latino. Up to date, I’ve only met one young millennial girl who called herself Latina.L, but in all these years, that’s it.
"Hispanic culture" is a vague attempt at lumping stereotypes, about as valid/invalid as lumping "American culture" which more polyglot. Mexico alone is not monocultural. Mexico is as polyglot as the US and Spanish is not the home language of many of its indigenous peoples. For many decades, USCBP has struggled to cope with immigrants from indigenous areas of Mexico, and now Central America. Much of Guatemala and much of Honduras is still indigenous regions. Southern Mexico has large areas of indigenous peoples, mostly Maya. Many northern areas of Mexico still have indigenous settlements. Such immigrants require uncommon translators, and such immigrants need to learn Spanish before taking formal ESL classes. Their nature is pleasant and admirable, but they're not clones of each other.
@@candidone8544American culture has similar traits nationally even if different locally like hispanic culture. They have the same traits generally but minute local distinctions
Muy buen vídeo hermano. Soy hondureño y yo Desconocía de que hubiese tanta población Hispana en Estados Unidos. Y curiosamente en los territorios que fueron parte del Virreinato de Nueva España y del Primer Imperio Mexicano. Saludos
the philippines shouldn't have stopped teaching spanish in schools.... it was basically their primary/secondary language up until the late 19th century... could have been a great asset being able to speak both english and spanish
Tagalog, a dialect of the Philippines is 40% Spanish so whenever I hear Philippine people speak I can understand a little bit of what they are saying 😂
Great video Briggs! Hispanic culture is very diverse and rich in music, food, etc. Skin color can range from lily white to brown to black. Caribbean Hispanic being different than Mexican due to heavy African influence especially in music and food. Argentinians are very different also having great European influence. Native Amerindian have a marked influence in Central and South America.
In San Antonio, a Hispanic friend of mine and I (I'm so mixed I don't know what to be called although I idetify Anglo by appearance and sirname) were kidding with someone that we have a race problem. It's called a marathon. I consider myself blessed that I've lived my life in places with varied cultures. Oh, and has made in a previous comment, I agree Hispanic is ethnic not race. Good report, Briggs.
@@Americafirst-i8q Mexican isn't a blood thing it's a nationality and culture anybody can claim Mexican in America but not everybody is Les falta sazón.
I disagree. I am asked to check if I am Latino or Hispanic on my race profile. I know there is a difference between the two. The other options are: caucasion; black; island-pacific; native American; and I think I missed one. I am Italian-American. I really don't consider myself Caucasian. I believe my deep roots are in the middle-east. We are 6% of the population. African-Americans are around 12% and Hispanics are 24% of the US. I don't believe that Latinas have a high percentage. What is bad about classification and protected classes, we forget our common ground as Americans. So, built into the system is devisiveness, not racism. It pulls the populus apart and gives government the advantage and power over us. I believe the point of the January 6th "insurrection" was fueled by that. They went after the policymakers who create this skewed system. Affirmative Action is really bad, too, and diametrically opposed to the wise words of Reverend King.
@@Lucia-sy7le After Hispanic Latino you have to out your race that's why in demographics it says white non Hispanic there's white black asian and even Arab hispanics it's like saying Canadian is a race.
Percentage is not a good indication of population eg: NV vs FL, I'm not criticizing but statistical. You do a great job and I really enjoy this channel. I live in #4 and don't even think of "Hispanics" they are just part of the place. I used to work in fresh-cut produce in Salina, CA & Yuma, AZ so I'm accustomed to Spanish speaking folks. I just need to learn more then "Dos cerveza por favor repeto"! I'm thinking about moving to MX down Baja way...
I grew up in Yuma. Growing up I had many friends who would come back and forth every year from Salinas Ca to Yuma because their parents worked in the lettuce fields or companies.
Florida has the largest Cuban, Puerto Rican, Uruguay, Colombian, Venezuelan, Peruvian, Argentinian, Brazilian ( I know they’re not “Hispanic” but they’re still Latino) populations , second largest Dominican , Honduran, and Guatemalan population. And the 8th most Mexican population in the US .. When it comes to Latinos as a WHOLE, Florida is the most diverse state in the US. You’ll find ALL Latinos there
I grew up in SoCal myself. Born and raised in La Cañada and later in WeHo. My parents and I used to go to El Cayote on Beverly Blvd. all the time. To me, that was what I came to know is true, authentic Mexican food. Since moving up to Washington state, finding real Mex. has been a challenge but, amazingly enough, we found one quite near us in a small, little town across the Columbia River called El Tapatio. They make tacos the "correct" way which is to take a fresh tortilla, stuff it with your meat of choice, pin it closed and deep fry it, open it back up and fill in the rest of the ingredients. There simply is no other way to do it, IMHO. This soft taco nonsense is for the birds as far as I am concerned, the same goes with boxed crispy taco shells, I call those "tacoes."
Driving through my city, I always knew when a Hispanic family moved in. In knew because the house would get fixed up and the lawn would be mowed. Outstanding neighbors as long as the backyard party music got turned off after 10.
Hey, I read somewhere that most household in Miami Date County speak both languages Spanish and English, around 75%. That impressive to me. Please look into that if you have the chance. Very good video btw.
Bilingual is not really that impressive, especially if you live in a country that doesn't speak your language. Most European speak several different languages fluently....I speak 5...so what?
I find that hard to believe as I was raised in Dade County and anyone in my Dade family who came from Cuba past the age of 12, speaks little to no English. Much of Miami is monolingual Spanish. One of the biggest complaints is the language barrier.
@@BadgerCheese94 it should not be a complaint or barrier...success is with communication and failure to adapt, at least to be able to communicate says a lot about a people
@@Jughead24 Its pretty shitty when American born people cant communicate in their own country because a lot of immigrants are too arrogant to learn English.
I had no idea Cicero was the most Hispanic town in the state. It was always a town that you could live rather comfortably in knowing only Spanish, but I guess it never rung a bell for me regardless. It's great that my small town is recognized for something other than being one of Al Capone's many residences.
One of my favorite vacations and the hands-down best burrito I've ever had was in New Mexico. So much history, culture, and nice people. I'd love to go back someday.

I'll be honest I'm Filipino but I could pass for being Latino. I live in CA and I want to move to another state but I'm a little afraid I'm gonna get murked for showing up with brown skin sadly. This may seem like a mundane thing to others, but for people like me, these kinds of videos really do help. Thanks!
Don’t be afraid of what people can think,be you and don’t worry about who’s say what. Hey when someone start paying your bill and then you can be careful about everything you do in your life otherwise be you and enjoy any where you want to go.
Do your research like Briggs does and find a place that fits what you are looking for. Most people do not psy attention to skin tone if you are kind and respectful. My husband is dark skinned White with Native American lineage. I'm fair skinned with Native American lineage. Color doesn't mstter as much as what is in your heart.
I speak Spanish, and in 2016 when I retired I moved from Virginia to El Paso Texas to retire. There are 3.5 to 1 women here in El Paso and I like the culture (Family first) here, so moved in 2016 got married in 2017 and have never been happier...
Thank you for your introductory comments! What most folks don't realize is that Hispanics were here a full century before Anglos were. I live in an area 90 per cent Hispanic and I like to tell outsiders I'm assimilating.
@@yasmin1261 that's fine but my point was to all the people saying we're Mexican. We're not Texas or Cali they have all mostly recent immigrants. I'm not anti immigrant just saying we are different the northern part of nm we are our own people. Hispanos de Nuevo Mexico
Great Video Bro! I’m Cuban American born and raised in Miami Florida of Spanish Ancestry I don’t want to come out as hateful or racist in any way but I personally hate it when we are referred to as Brown or not white if anyone should be Brown it should be the Native American Tribes or the indigenous peoples in Canada Mexico or in central and South America and i also hate when people say that we are not White! It drives me crazy yeah we might not be American White but at the end of the day the English are not the only white people in the world all of Europe especially in Spain and in Portugal and parts of France and Italy but it’s a great video my man!!!
Minor correction. Actually the top 5 (not 4) states on the list were once part of Mexico. The original border was the Arkansas River. Everything from Pueblo Colorado south was Mexico
Really enjoy this. It’s amazing how many people think that we Hispanic/Latino are not American. This might make people think twice before you tell an American to go back to his country because this our country too. Thx Briggs!
Can you do states with religions like most Mormon states most catholic states most every denomination. Most Hindu state most Buddhist denomination state. I’m very curious about what states are what religions because I feel like there is a ton of diversity. I grew up in Texas and I thought that was the norm.
Fascinating! This explains a lot sociologically and economically which explains a general lack of diversity. This may be why we have little governmental collaboration.
I like the video that you made I don’t like the introduction when you said you never really saw noticed any differences except when it came to cooking and home gatherings that just comes across as if you’re blind to the fact that most cities the neighborhoods are always segregated.
Another GREAT video, Mr Briggs! I didn't know you had a Hispanic wife! You have a way of tackling subjects that would otherwise be thorny and problematic, like race or religion, and doing it all in a jovial, lighthearted manner that offends no one. And people can tell that you're having a great time doing it, too! I felt that either California or Texas would be number one, but New Mexico definitely came as no surprise - heck, it even has Mexico in the name! New Mexico: It's not really new, because its history and traditions date back some five hundred years or so to the time of the conquistadors; and it's not really Mexico, because there's this little thing called the US border lying between it and Mexico.
As a person of Mexican heritage, I commend the video creator. I do have to comment that not all Hispanics are Spanish speaking. The Hispanics who grew up here have assimilated into American culture like me. The only way I was able to learn Spanish is from high school and from necessity. I dated a girl in high school who was from El Salvador. Her mother didn’t know any English. I learned how to speak some Spanish to win brownie points with the mom.
I don't understand the transplants whose children only speak the national language. My sister is married to an Italian and lived in Italy for a number of years. My nieces and nephew speak English as well as Italian.
In other words, you don't feel proud of your heritage. You feel forced to be . Good for you! I feel sorry for my salvi sister because I KNOW she didn't have a good time with you.
Colorado is a Spanish name after all meaning the color red if memory serves me correctly and the sangredicristo mountains translate to blood of Christ mountains in English. Federal heights is pretty accurate I grew up in Denver and aurora once you get to federal boulevard.
Great Video, My Queen is From Albuquerque New Mexico and she's Spanish and Navajo Cool to See there #1 on the List the comments got me Laughing, everyone just concern about terms
I've lived in 4 of these 10 states: California (6 yrs), Florida (2 yrs), New Mexico (6 yrs) and Texas (6 yrs). I am grateful for the years spent embedded in the Hispanic and Latino/Latina community!!
@joserodriguez-sf7cp As a "Leetino"? Idk if anyone would want that? Have you seen how violent albuquerque, LA, San Bernardino, or Stockton are? It is filled with cartels and gang violence. 😳
Lets remember some states used to be former Mexican part until the Guadalupe-Hidalgo Trate in 1848!!! I di have relatives in California and Arizona. Greetings from Sonora.
I moved from Bell Gardens CA (95% hispanic and 25 mins south of downtown) to TN and im white but sometimes i feel like the neighborhood im in is too white. Like too many nosey Karens and just a different environment. There are a mix of Mexican and South American people here with a few legit taquerias. There is a good mix of people though because my city is right next to an Army base.
As a Latino form SoCal I would of never thought some of these states would be as high as they were in this ranking 🫢🫢🫢 thanks for the informative video!!
Hey Briggs, thanks for the video. Why don't you do a video on the top ten most racist groups and expose people making comments like go back where you came from etc.
I'm glad you hate that odious term. It should be deep-sixed along with "client" in place of "patient", "check" in place of "bill", etc. My doctor isn't an attorney, and the restaurant isn't paying ME to eat there!
All love to my Hispanic/Latino brothers and sisters. My friends are latino, my sister-in-law is Puerto Rican. Some of the states listed are obvious. But, still very informative video.
American who lived abroad for 6 years.. The go back where you come from, lose your accent, but where are you really from, etc. is wayyyy worse than what you get in the USA. Americans are much more habituated to immigrants than just about anywhere in the world.
since we are off on the historical/contextual side of this discussion, let's mention the mestizos and the tejanos, which are for all intents and purposes, Indigenous Americans (historically speaking).
@David Garcia ethnicity - the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition. Fairly confident Latino and hispanic both fit the definition.
@David Garcia Hispanic or Latino isn’t part of my culture. I’m Mexican not Cuban I don’t say ala pinga I say ala verga. Completely two different cultures. I don’t claim Cubans as my people lol
Hispanic and Latino are often used interchangeably though they actually mean two different things. Hispanic refers to people who speak Spanish or are descended from Spanish-speaking populations, while Latino refers to people who are from or descended from people from Latin America
Very true, atleast in my experience, hispanics (specially hispanoamericans) have a lot of disconformities and desinformation about the use of both terms. I say you this as a Centralamerican. and sorry for my shitty english.
I love your chanel talking about Hispanics I love Mexican and you said Roma Texas has a lots spanish now I'm thinking of visiting Roma texas I might find Mexican friend in Roma Texas....
I live in Northeast Texas, and I can confirm. I am part Mexican. But because of a certain something in my past, I only know full English and a little Spanish, and I'm still trying to learn more Spanish.

Great video Briggs! As a life long West Texan I really enjoyed this one. About 60%of the county population is Hispanic. Warm, hardworking, down to earth folks.
I just love Hispanic/Latino cultures. I lived in AZ most of my life prior to moving out of state. It's one of the aspects of AZ that I miss the most - the culture. One of the warmest, most friendly and welcoming cultures out there.
As an Arizonan of Hispanic decent yes I love the Latino culture too. Especially tacos like c'mon those are the best ever!
We’re still here amigo! Come back anytime ! 👌🎉
I moved to west Texas for work for a year. Most of my patients were Hispanic/Latinos and they were very kind and welcoming. They would talk to me in Spanish and call me "mija" even though I was not Hispanic. 😂 Now I'm back home and I work in a primarily Hispanic community. Most treat me like familia.❤️
Come on back any time!

As a Hispanic who has lived in New Mexico their entire life, I can vouch for us having the largest Hispanic population. If you've ever been here or heard of New Mexico, you get slapped with Hispanic heritage as soon as you enter the state. 🤣
Great video, Briggs! Thanks for cranking out some amazing videos! 👏🏽
As of April 1 New Mexico is the first majority Hispanic state of50.1% of the population
A large part of the southwest used to be part of Mexico, so naturally many Latinos were already here, before this area became part of the USA.
Yup. Same here. Hispanic native New Mexican. Burque strong
@@merrymata2547 new Mexico was only part of Mexico 20years. It was part of Spain for hundreds. We in in nm dont identify as Mexican but Spanish. We are proud of our Spanish and indigenous roots. Most of us been here since the 1500s
Santa Fe was the first city founded by the conquistadors even before the pilgrims came on the east coast
Hola! that's right Hispanic culture is gorgeous. I'm Mexican-American, and I'm proud of my two countries.
U.S.A!!!
¡Viva México!
Viva todo el continente americano, desde Alaksa hasta Chile y Argentina!!
Supposedly Hispanics are gonna be the majority in the us.
The culture is nice. I speak some French and Spanish. And I like many Latin artists who sing and play music such as Dalida, Jeanette, and Giani Nannini. My father's side of the family came from Romania. I have read many jornadas from Mexico, and I almost feel like weeping with all the escroquerie/estafa and extortion that happens to poor people as well as the narcos who bribe and intimidate los togados, the judges. There are the trovadores who sing corridos/ballads on Mexican narcos. I would like too see more of the culture come with none of the corruption attached. I think if Latin America could upgrade to governments that operate more like the Anglo governments then the people could really prosper. Au revoir/via con dios.

At 0:32 ...I'm white, but I grew up in Dallas, which has a very large Latino population...I'd say more than half my friends (including my best friend) were Mexican American and Puerto Ricans...and many of my girlfriends were Latinas (Included one I lost my "innocence" to)...and I am married to a Latina...we just celebrated our 35th anniversary...so I have lived most of my life immersed into this friendly, loving, and deeply family oriented culture...
Here in Boston white women stay taking Latino men’s and black men’s “innocence” as well. Very diverse city.
Yes and in Chicago many snow bunnies love the brown meat in their throats I can say I’ve lived most of my life immersed into the friendly snow bunny blizzard;)
I’m married to a “Latina” is the equivalent of saying you’re married to a European.
What the heck does that mean? Other than assuming your wife speaks Spanish, that comment says zero about her. Mainly because there’s no such thing as “Latin” culture.
Puerto Rico is not Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain
@@aldridkg would say slavic would be a closer equivalent since europe is a continent after all
Briggs. We need this! Thanks for sharing.
As a Cuban-American who grew up in Miami, I NEVER heard of a debate whether we are Caribbean or Hispanic. We are BOTH! The Caribbean is a very diverse region. I mean culturally we got more in common with someone from Colombia, even Pacific Colombia, than someone from Jamaica or Haiti, but we do share that Caribbean zest. We also arent a single race but a collection of races. We may be white, black, mulatto, mestizo, Asian, Arab etc.
Agreed.
If you're born and raised in the United States you're simply American . " Cuban Americans " and Cubans from Cuba are 2 different things. Most Cubans I've met living in Europe and throughout the U.S ( not Miami )want nothing to do with " Miami Cubans " .
@@Utubedeletescomments I was born in Cuba. And shut up the only real Americans are the American Indians.
I dont like most Miami Cubans either lol I live in Minneapolis now.
@@BadgerCheese94 Then we koo 😂
Most people from Latin America or the Caribbean do not describe themselves as Spanish. Hispanic or Latino. Up to date, I’ve only met one young millennial girl who called herself Latina.L, but in all these years, that’s it.
I love Hispanic culture! The people are so much fun, family oriented, and have such wonderful foods! Good, honest people!
"Hispanic culture" is a vague attempt at lumping stereotypes, about as valid/invalid as lumping "American culture" which more polyglot. Mexico alone is not monocultural. Mexico is as polyglot as the US and Spanish is not the home language of many of its indigenous peoples. For many decades, USCBP has struggled to cope with immigrants from indigenous areas of Mexico, and now Central America. Much of Guatemala and much of Honduras is still indigenous regions. Southern Mexico has large areas of indigenous peoples, mostly Maya. Many northern areas of Mexico still have indigenous settlements. Such immigrants require uncommon translators, and such immigrants need to learn Spanish before taking formal ESL classes. Their nature is pleasant and admirable, but they're not clones of each other.
Tl;dr “Hispanic culture” is a misnomer
@@candidone8544American culture has similar traits nationally even if different locally like hispanic culture. They have the same traits generally but minute local distinctions
Hispanic from California!
Thanks for the info
Where in Latin America were you born?
Muy buen vídeo hermano. Soy hondureño y yo Desconocía de que hubiese tanta población Hispana en Estados Unidos. Y curiosamente en los territorios que fueron parte del Virreinato de Nueva España y del Primer Imperio Mexicano. Saludos

@@ivann.1916no they crossed the border. California had the demographics of Iowa in the 1960s.
the philippines shouldn't have stopped teaching spanish in schools.... it was basically their primary/secondary language up until the late 19th century... could have been a great asset being able to speak both english and spanish
Tagalog, a dialect of the Philippines is 40% Spanish so whenever I hear Philippine people speak I can understand a little bit of what they are saying 😂
Briggs, you're just so gosh-darn likeable. I guess that's why I've been subscribed for years. I think your esposa is a lucky lady.
Thank you
Great video Briggs! Hispanic culture is very diverse and rich in music, food, etc. Skin color can range from lily white to brown to black. Caribbean Hispanic being different than Mexican due to heavy African influence especially in music and food. Argentinians are very different also having great European influence. Native Amerindian have a marked influence in Central and South America.
In San Antonio, a Hispanic friend of mine and I (I'm so mixed I don't know what to be called although I idetify Anglo by appearance and sirname) were kidding with someone that we have a race problem. It's called a marathon. I consider myself blessed that I've lived my life in places with varied cultures. Oh, and has made in a previous comment, I agree Hispanic is ethnic not race. Good report, Briggs.
It doesn't matter what you think you are it's what your blood is you're a Mexican you're a Mexican
@@Americafirst-i8q Mexican isn't a blood thing it's a nationality and culture anybody can claim Mexican in America but not everybody is Les falta sazón.
I disagree. I am asked to check if I am Latino or Hispanic on my race profile. I know there is a difference between the two. The other options are: caucasion; black; island-pacific; native American; and I think I missed one. I am Italian-American. I really don't consider myself Caucasian. I believe my deep roots are in the middle-east. We are 6% of the population. African-Americans are around 12% and Hispanics are 24% of the US. I don't believe that Latinas have a high percentage. What is bad about classification and protected classes, we forget our common ground as Americans. So, built into the system is devisiveness, not racism. It pulls the populus apart and gives government the advantage and power over us. I believe the point of the January 6th "insurrection" was fueled by that. They went after the policymakers who create this skewed system. Affirmative Action is really bad, too, and diametrically opposed to the wise words of Reverend King.
@@Lucia-sy7le After Hispanic Latino you have to out your race that's why in demographics it says white non Hispanic there's white black asian and even Arab hispanics it's like saying Canadian is a race.
@@El.Matamoros. It's confusing. Guess I'll just keep checking white and getting NOTHING.
Percentage is not a good indication of population eg: NV vs FL, I'm not criticizing but statistical. You do a great job and I really enjoy this channel. I live in #4 and don't even think of "Hispanics" they are just part of the place. I used to work in fresh-cut produce in Salina, CA & Yuma, AZ so I'm accustomed to Spanish speaking folks. I just need to learn more then "Dos cerveza por favor repeto"! I'm thinking about moving to MX down Baja way...
I grew up in Yuma. Growing up I had many friends who would come back and forth every year from Salinas Ca to Yuma because their parents worked in the lettuce fields or companies.
Florida has the largest Cuban, Puerto Rican, Uruguay, Colombian, Venezuelan, Peruvian, Argentinian, Brazilian ( I know they’re not “Hispanic” but they’re still Latino) populations , second largest Dominican , Honduran, and Guatemalan population. And the 8th most Mexican population in the US ..

I grew up in SoCal myself. Born and raised in La Cañada and later in WeHo. My parents and I used to go to El Cayote on Beverly Blvd. all the time. To me, that was what I came to know is true, authentic Mexican food. Since moving up to Washington state, finding real Mex. has been a challenge but, amazingly enough, we found one quite near us in a small, little town across the Columbia River called El Tapatio. They make tacos the "correct" way which is to take a fresh tortilla, stuff it with your meat of choice, pin it closed and deep fry it, open it back up and fill in the rest of the ingredients. There simply is no other way to do it, IMHO. This soft taco nonsense is for the birds as far as I am concerned, the same goes with boxed crispy taco shells, I call those "tacoes."

Hey, I read somewhere that most household in Miami Date County speak both languages Spanish and English, around 75%. That impressive to me. Please look into that if you have the chance. Very good video btw.
Bilingual is not really that impressive, especially if you live in a country that doesn't speak your language. Most European speak several different languages fluently....I speak 5...so what?
@@Jughead24 I’m currently learning a few but have ways to go, how long did it take you to be fluent.
I find that hard to believe as I was raised in Dade County and anyone in my Dade family who came from Cuba past the age of 12, speaks little to no English. Much of Miami is monolingual Spanish. One of the biggest complaints is the language barrier.
@@BadgerCheese94 it should not be a complaint or barrier...success is with communication and failure to adapt, at least to be able to communicate says a lot about a people
@@Jughead24 Its pretty shitty when American born people cant communicate in their own country because a lot of immigrants are too arrogant to learn English.
Kudos on your New York area coverage - especially finding Haverstraw! I live 20 minutes away. You really know your stuff.
I had no idea Cicero was the most Hispanic town in the state. It was always a town that you could live rather comfortably in knowing only Spanish, but I guess it never rung a bell for me regardless. It's great that my small town is recognized for something other than being one of Al Capone's many residences.

It drives me crazy yeah we might not be American White but at the end of the day the English are not the only white people in the world all of Europe especially in Spain and in Portugal and parts of France and Italy but it’s a great video my man!!!
Minor correction. Actually the top 5 (not 4) states on the list were once part of Mexico. The original border was the Arkansas River. Everything from Pueblo Colorado south was Mexico
The Spanish empire (Mexico aka new Spain) reached all the way up north to Canada. Atleast that’s what the Spanish claimed.
There's 7 complete states that were part of Mexico at one point. 13 states, is you add territories.
Really good video! Lots of interesting information.
Really enjoy this. It’s amazing how many people think that we Hispanic/Latino are not American. This might make people think twice before you tell an American to go back to his country because this our country too. Thx Briggs!

Can you do states with religions like most Mormon states most catholic states most every denomination. Most Hindu state most Buddhist denomination state. I’m very curious about what states are what religions because I feel like there is a ton of diversity. I grew up in Texas and I thought that was the norm.
Fascinating! This explains a lot sociologically and economically which explains a general lack of diversity.

Another GREAT video, Mr Briggs! I didn't know you had a Hispanic wife! You have a way of tackling subjects that would otherwise be thorny and problematic, like race or religion, and doing it all in a jovial, lighthearted manner that offends no one. And people can tell that you're having a great time doing it, too! I felt that either California or Texas would be number one, but New Mexico definitely came as no surprise - heck, it even has Mexico in the name! New Mexico: It's not really new, because its history and traditions date back some five hundred years or so to the time of the conquistadors; and it's not really Mexico, because there's this little thing called the US border lying between it and Mexico.
Very useful information.

As a person of Mexican heritage, I commend the video creator. I do have to comment that not all Hispanics are Spanish speaking. The Hispanics who grew up here have assimilated into American culture like me. The only way I was able to learn Spanish is from high school and from necessity. I dated a girl in high school who was from El Salvador. Her mother didn’t know any English. I learned how to speak some Spanish to win brownie points with the mom.
I don't understand the transplants whose children only speak the national language. My sister is married to an Italian and lived in Italy for a number of years. My nieces and nephew speak English as well as Italian.
then you aren't hispanic .
In other words, you don't feel proud of your heritage. You feel forced to be . Good for you! I feel sorry for my salvi sister because I KNOW she didn't have a good time with you.

Colorado is a Spanish name after all meaning the color red if memory serves me correctly and the sangredicristo mountains translate to blood of Christ mountains in English. Federal heights is pretty accurate I grew up in Denver and aurora once you get to federal boulevard.
It just means "colored," or "colorful."
Yup, nailed it.
