The history of Hispanic Americans is inextricably linked tothecolonization and territorial expansion of contemporary America.Inthe 19th century, Texas, New Mexico, and much ofCalifornia-allgeographic regions with significant Spanish andHispanicpopulations-ceded or were annexed as part of what was tobecome theUnited States. Immigrants from Mexico, Central America,Cuba,Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic have also contributedtothe Hispanic-American community and have thereby complicatedaswell as enriched any single definition of that ethnic group.
Arab Americans are loosely defined by their shared languageasopposed to similar religious or cultural practices. Eventhisdistinction is problematic, however, as some immigrants fromArabcountries, such as Kurds, Circassians, and Berbers, do notspeakArabic. Furthermore, a common misconception of Arab Americansasbeing predominantly Muslim persists in America when in factthemajority of the Arabic-speaking community in the United Statesisactually Christian. These complex and often divisivedistinctionshave deterred Arab Americans' establishment of largecommunities,although small enclaves have formed in California, NewJersey, andMichigan.
