...Latino" in the race section of the 2010 census forms being mailed to U.S. homes this month. What makes it all the more confusing if not frustrating to them is that Washington continues to insist on those forms that "Hispanic origins are not races." If the Census Bureau lists Filipino and even Samoan as distinct races, Hispanics wonder why they - the product of half a millennium of New World miscegenation - aren't considered a race too.

There are palm trees in the distance, and the low hum of traffic on I-10 is starting to turn into a low roar as the Filipino boxer, clad in a red tracksuit, dashes around the dirt oval despite a painful shin splint.

...simple historical chronology. The story begins in the late 19th century, when the scattered archipelago was a Spanish colony, its people stifled by ruling élites but also desperate to earn their approval. The assiduousness with which they sought it can be seen in two iconic works by Filipino artists Juan Luna and Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, who together swept the top prizes at a prestigious Madrid art exposition in 1884.
