Why do you say Spanish? Because they're the second fastest growing
segment of our world's population? It's been ages since I read
anything on that, though. Got cites handy?


Not the world. The US. The Census department says that the Hispanic
population in this country will increase from 12.6% of the population in
2000 to 24.4% in 2050. Their numbers are projected to grow from 35.6
million
to 102.6 million, an increase of 188 percent.


That figure doesn't include the merger with the Chinese world which
surely would have happened before then, mi amigo.


That's what they said about Japan. Like the Japanese "invasion," any Chinese
one (of which I am very dubious) will involve a pretty narrow interface with
the Chinese people.

As for Hispanics, they're already here. And more of them are coming. Those
are people we have to deal with.
