Not American and not familiar with American history so apologies if this is a stupid question. The reason as I understand it for AA for black Americans is the history of slavery. What is the reason for applying AA to hispanics?

Hispanics have historically been discriminated against in the United States. They are (or were) predominately Catholic in a country that is (or was) predominately not Catholic.

Then haven't Catholics in general? Why limit it to Hispanics?
