That is not really true. They are mostly Latino originating in
Salvador but I understand they have recruited some black members

I also know they are very active in Eastern Montgomery and Northern PG
county (areas adjacent to the DC line) but this is spreading all the
way down into Charles County according to my Niece in Bryans Road.

I am very happy that I have put 1300 miles between me and that area.

Latino is not a race.

True but it is considered to be an ethnic group.

It is specifically an ethnolinguistic category and as you correctly
point out, certainly is not racial, not with all the "flavors" of
peoples who fall into it.

We have lots of hard-working Latinos in this county, some of whom live
in the county and some who commute in daily. The ones I see at WaWa in
the morning, filling their coolers, typically are very friendly, and
tolerate my no better than pidgin Spanish. My wife has a number of
Spanish-speaking patients, and she has gotten very fluent. That's the
way to do it, of course...speak it a lot with people whose native
language it is.

I don't see these people as any different than my relatives who came
here around the turn of the last century. They've come for the same
reasons, to create a better life for their families. They're certainly
not people to be feared because many of them don't speak English yet.
