As a freshmen student I know that she will do good and make us really proud of her,she has been in the supreme curt for a while and by her just being a hispanic African american women I like her already .she has so much to give in life and Im looking forward of seeing that and maybe even seeing her <3 Sierra warren

This is wrong. Portuguese and Spanish are the true Hispanics. If the writer of this article had done a little research they would have found out. Firstly, the root word of Hispanic is Hispania. Hispania was the Roman name of the area that is now Spain and Portugal. (Iberia was the Greek name, thus the continued us of the term Iberian Peninsula). Just because people in the U.S. don't know the actual definination doesn't make it so. It's laughable that the writer would cite the Associated Press definiation. (I didn't realize they had the authority to tell us who is Hispanic). Most Mexicans calling themselves Hispanic in the U.S. today are largely Indian/Native American. The continued mis-use of the term Hispanic is sort of the like the historical mistake of callling Native Americas Indians. Indians are people from India. Cardozo was certainly Hispanic. He was also Jewish, which is part of why his Hispanic heritage is overshadowed.
