Question

Members of this ethnicity are the subject of Seth Holmes’s book Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies, who practiced an “embodied anthropology” that took him to a farm in the Skagit Valley. Margaret Clark pioneered medical anthropology among this ethnicity in a “community study” analyzing the skepticism of health workers towards conditions like susto. A paradox named for the relatively low mortality rate of this ethnicity has been explained by the (10[1])“salmon bias” hypothesis. They’re not the Inuit, but a typically female culture-bound syndrome of this ethnicity translates (-5[1])as “attack of nerves.” Mal aire (“mahl EYE-ray”) may be treated by folk healers of this ethnicity known as curanderos. For 10 points, name this ethnicity adversely affected by health workers who do not speak the US’s second-most common language. (10[1])■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: Hispanic Americans [or Latino Americans; accept specific groups such as Mexican-Americans or Puerto Ricans; accept Hispanos or Chicanos; accept Latinx or Latines or Latinas or Latin Americans; accept Hispanic paradox] (The culture-bound syndrome is ataque de nervios.)
