Talk:Uruguayan Americans

Ridiculously removed edit

I have no idea why User:SamEV removed the very constructive and important edit of the historical background of Uruguayans in the U.S., because the user claimed the rules forbid the entries and was hastenily deleted. Here is the deleted edit below I got from the history of the article page, and see it for yourself. + 71.102.5.6 (talk) 23:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

<< Since the 1960's in the beginning of the immigration pattern from Latin America, thousands of Uruguayans began to settle in the U.S. either as political refugees escaping right-wing military rule (1970-85) or for economic reasons involved many professionals and business managers. The most popular locations for Uruguayan immigrants are Florida, New York City and Washington, DC.

Uruguay is a predominantly "white" or European-Latin American country, the largest ethnic groups are Italians other than Spaniards by very high rates of immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Uruguayan-American community are of multiethnic backgrounds: such as Brazilian, French, German, Japanese, Lebanese Arab, and Polish ancestries.

When it comes to socioeconomics, Uruguayan-Americans resemble more of European-Americans than most Latin American nationalities in income per capita, the rate of college graduates and lower poverty rates. That's from the result the majority of Uruguayan immigrants from upper-middle class origins had more educational background. >>''

The size of the Uruguayan community in the US may explain the entries' removal, along with the ones in the Paraguayan American, Panamanian American and Costa Rican American articles by the same editor. The largest percentage of Uruguayans in the USA is Salem County, New Jersey at an estimated 3.5 percent, and by metro area Philadelphia or state Delaware part of the Delaware Valley. 71.102.26.168 (talk) 00:28, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
