Study identifies acculturation as primary segmentation tool – Hispanic MPR

Tomas — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:05:22 +0000

"ccording to a 2008 segmentation study, acculturation is the most significant factor when segmenting the U.S. Hispanic market. At the same time, the lead researchers involved in the study, David Morse and Susanna Whitmore of New American Dimensions, believe there are important differences between the various groups marking it important for marketers to have a clear understanding of Latino market segments before approaching them.

In the Acculturation & Beyond New American Dimensions Hispanic Segmentation Study report they counsel marketers to be cautious of stereotypes. As an example, they point out that consumers that would be considered unacculturated by some standards may exhibit behaviors more common among acculturated Latinos. On the other hand, many Latinos born in the United States are eager for a strong cultural connection with their country of origin and roots."

"What do we make of this? That some myths and definitions about the Hispanic community in the U.S. are not holding up, and that assumptions about the future of immigration from Mexico should be reconsidered.

The most prevalent myth holds that the growth of the Latino community in the United States is driven by immigration. That's partially true. The new, complete truth is that U.S. Latino population growth is now mostly homegrown, red-blooded, apple pie (or empanada de camote) American.

REVIEW – Christopher Zalla’s “Sangre de mi sangre”

Tomas — Mon, 12 May 2008 15:31:28 +0000

"If writer-director Christopher Zalla's intent in "Sangre de mi sangre" was to sympathetically and realistically depict the plight of impoverished Mexican illegal immigrants trying desperately to eke out anonymous existences in urban U.S. areas, why does he litter his workmanlike debut film with characters directly out of Hispanic-cliche central casting? Though it's infinitely better than last year's execrable "Trade" (the worst movie...ever?), Zalla's film similarly traffics in south-of-the-border stereotypes, opening, of course, with the usual touristy-dangerous shots of Mexico, set to "indigenous" rhythms, which only prove to further distance the viewer from what should be a more intimate, humane experience."

"Blanca and Yessenia Soto sometimes still feel the stares as they walk into stores. It hasn't been unusual, simply by virtue of their brown skin, for the teenage sisters to be followed down the aisles.

Butting up against racial stereotypes, economic hardship and occasional hostility is part of life for many whose skin color advertises an ethnic heritage. For children, especially, the experiences are penetrating and painful.

El Teatro, a Northridge High School theater company, has put those stories in the spotlight."
