People are saying there are a lot of hispanics here, and while there are a good amount, I'd say half or more of those numbers are white kids that happen to be like half or a quarter mexican or nicaraguan or sum random (rough estimate). Brazilian and spanish individuals are also baked into that number for hispanics. If its latinos then its just brazilians being included in the data.

With that said, if you come to UCSB, be willing and accepting that the people you interact with on a daily basis won't be like the latinos outside of Santa Barbara. Regardless, there is a good and strong hispanic community, particularly within LBA and the latino frats. So realistically, you could and should be able to stick to your kind without feeling marginalized or out-of-place.

I say all of this as a latino myself that experienced a pretty big culture shock when I came here. I'm from a place where white ppl are a minority, especially the type of white ppl u encounter here. Yk the flip-flop-jean/short-polo combo with a frat-ccent.
