Before the second part of CNN’s Latino in America aired the voices of Latinos were pouring in complaining that the documentary did not accurately depict Latinos. A common criticism was that Latinos were painted with the same stereotyping brush used by Lou Dobbs. A far stretch if you ask me, none the less a protest worth factoring in the debate.
So who are Latinos in America? Well let me show you some of the faces I have photographed in the last decade. These Latinos come from all of Latin America, from different socio-economic levels all pursing the American dream. They all have unique stories of their acculturation and assimilation into America. See if you can spot the difference. If you click on the image the picture will be amplified.
