DEF

Hispano-Américain(e) : [Personne] qui a rapport à l'Amérique et à l'Espagne; qui a rapport à l'Amérique de langue espagnole.

OBS

Hispano : Abréviation familière de «Hispanique» ou «Hispano-Américain(e)», utilisée comme nom et comme adjectif.

OBS

Au pluriel : Des Hispaniques; des Hispano-Américains, des Hispano-Américaines.

OBS

«Hispanique» (adjectif et nom) signifie d'abord «qui a trait à l'Espagne» pour devenir plus spécifiquement le «citoyen des États-Unis originaire d'un pays latino-américain ou des Antilles». «Hispano-Américain» lie d'abord l'Espagne et l'Amérique, avant de signifier davantage l'Amérique de langue espagnole. Dans l'usage, on accorde à «Hispanique» le sens d'«Américain originaire d'un pays latino-américain», et à «Hispano-Américain», le sens d'«Américain de langue espagnole». Mais, la distinction demeurant très ténue entre ces deux termes, aussi retrouve-t-on, au dictionnaire, les deux notions sous une même entrée.

FACT SHEET : Racial Divide Continues to Grow... Race or ethnic origin is a likely factor in determining who has access to computers and the Internet. Americans today are accessing the Internet with more regularity, and Black and Hispanic households are twice as likely to own computers today as they were in 1994. Yet, many race or origin groups are losing ground in computer and Internet connectivity when compared to the progress of Whites and those of Asian/Pacific Island descent. When holding income constant, Black and Hispanic households are still far less likely to have Internet access.

Le revenu moyen par habitant de 2 220 dollars (en 1997) de la Namibie est plus de quatre fois supérieur à la moyenne de l'Afrique subsaharienne, ce qui la place à égalité avec certains pays d'Europe de l'Est aux revenus faibles et moyens. Mais derrière ce chiffre se cache l'une des répartitions de revenus les plus inégales au monde. Un pour cent des ménages, les plus riches, consomme autant que 50 % des couches les plus pauvres de la population. Héritée de l'apartheid, cette répartition des revenus correspond au clivage racial. La minorité blanche, qui détient la plupart des terres et des grandes entreprises, est en haut de la pyramide des revenus, et la majorité noire en bas.

CONT

The Strengthening Families Program(SFP) is a family skills training program designed to reduce risk factors for substance use and other problem behaviors in high-risk children of substance abusers including behavioral problems, emotional, academic and social problems.

It is designed for families with children ages 6 to 10 and has been modified for African-American families, Asian/Pacific Islanders in Utah and Hawaii, rural families, early teens in the Midwest, and Hispanic families.
