Here are some of the problems that immediately jump out to me as glaring:
Latino/Hispanic American history get VERY little attention.
As late as 1970, only 5% of Americans were Latino/Hispanic (and they wouldn't have called themselves that...). How does the attention paid to Latino/Hispanic history compare to historically much larger groups, such as Irish and German immigrants? Or are you saying we should distort the relative importance of Hispanic/Latino history because there are a lot of hispanics in school now and they would find it interesting?
