Most of the people in that picture probably aren't beaners (Mexicans), as they're most likely U.S. citizens. Usage of Spanish isn't a basis for inclusion among spics; Spanish-speaking Indians are no more "Hispanic" than English-speaking African-Americans are "Anglos." They're Indians, and their ancestry can't be diluted by spic impositions.
