Conservative group launches multi-year campaign engaging Latinos around America's 250th anniversary

8. Groups of Hispanics that will be difficult to reach

1. The Pentecostals. Not knocking them, but I've read several articles over the years, many in this group (often full of arch-conservatives), see themselves as Christians first and everything else 2nd through infinity. They will continue voting for what is happening because they believe this is what God wants them to do. In one interview (The Guardian) they interviewed a pastor in Arizona (Pentecostal) who said he's tried to talk to them, but they don't see their ethnicity as a factor -- it's religion

2. Those that insist that they are white -- see Nick Fuentas.

3. The Tejicados (I think I spelled that right) They are a group of people that have lived in what is today Texas when it was still part of Mexico. They are really conservative. And many consider themselves white. I think that's why they use Tejicados and not Latinos to describe themselves
