I'm not surprised. God knows what the hell happens to all Hispanics in the future, but I want to know what it is!
Seriously. I'm a total dork by the definitions given here (and Hispanic as well). I've watched virtually all sci-fi out there. And blacks have absolutely nothing to complain about in terms of their "place in the future". They are quite well represented. Apparently my family and everyone from every Spanish country is sure to completely die out between now and the 22nd century.
I haven't seen a single significant Spanish character in TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Babylon 5, Andromeda or -any- other future history. Now we don't exist in Battlestar Galactica either, even when the Captain is played by someone hispanic.
WHAT HAPPENS TO US IN THE FUTURE? I want to know! Would they not allow us to board the Enterprise because they thought we'd steal the hubcaps or something?

If it makes you feel better, I just checked the LDS (Mormon) Family Search website and the surname Adama is recorded in Mexico at least as long ago as 1775.
There were also many in the Netherlands. Coincidence, or a remnant of the old Spanish Netherlands?

Hispanics in the future
How can Hispanics have a future when this isn't even a race? Hispanics are white, black, and indian. From pure blood to mostly a mix of some or all. I knew all white Cubans who hated the term. Cubans are mostly either white or a mix of white and black. Mexicans are either white, indian, or mostly a mix. Some parts of South America have a lot of people with French heritage. So you can bet the term Hispanic dies in the future.

Well if it makes you feel any better, maybe all the Hispanic people were from the lost 13th tribe and came to Earth.
