Which hispanics? The wealthy second and third generation Cubans in Miami? The poor legal and illegal Mexican and Central American immigrants in the southwest? The landowners in California whose families have been there since it was a part of Mexico? Puerto Ricans? South Americans? The term covers so many different groups of people who are only connected by a vague linguistic history that it doesn't really have a whole lot of meaning when you're talking about something like civil rights.
