Talk:Columbia Citizen

Latinos in Columbia
There seems to be a question of Latino's being included in list of the lower classes of the people of Columbia. As Unknownshipper pointed out while Latino's were discriminated against (heavily) in America at the time, we don't see any of them among Columbia's population. Now it could have been an oversight, but maybe not. The Latino population of the US at this time was a LOT smaller than it is currently. (About 0.4 % of the population in 1910. Less than one half of one percent.) Of that population it was almost all in the Southwestern US (Arizona had the largest %. California only had 2.1%). Source: Historical racial and ethnic demographics of the United States As Columbia's population seems to be mostly drawn from the East Coast and the discrimination against Latinos that already existed, it is highly likely that there were no Latinos in Columbia. sm --Solarmech (talk) 16:18, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
