Funny thing is, Europeans are the Native Americans now a day's.

According to 2006 census data, 44.3 million people of the U.S. population were Hispanic or Latino by origin;[103] 34 million people, 12.2 percent, of the population more than five years old speak Spanish at home.[104] Spanish has a long history in the United States because many south-western states were part of Mexico, and Florida was also part of Spain, and it recently has been revitalized by Hispanic immigrants. Spanish is the most widely taught language in the country after English. Although the United States has no formally designated "official languages," Spanish is formally recognized at the state level in various states in addition to English; in the U.S. state of New Mexico for instance, 40% of the population speaks the language. It also has strong influence in metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Miami, San Antonio, New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Chicago and in the last decade, the language has rapidly expanded in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Phoenix, Richmond, Washington, DC, and Missouri. Spanish is the dominant spoken language in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. With a total of 33,701,181 Spanish (Castilian) speakers, according to US Census Bureau,[105] the U.S. has the world's second-largest Spanish-speaking population.[106] Spanish ranks second, behind English, as the language spoken most widely at home.
