Bar charts should be sorted with the biggest ones at the top. It looks wierd the way it is. And why do all of the Latino parts have a "@" next to them when a "*" is used to reference?
I think that it may be a way of saying "Latino/Latina" that is used sometimes in Spanish. As Latino is the male form and Latina the female one, sometimes a "@" (which is sort of an a and an o) is used to signify inclusion.
Maybe because I'm not American the part that confuses me is the "Hispanic" vs "Latino", are they used to mean different things?
Technically (very technically), Latin-American would include people talking French or Portuguese, while I guess Hispanic will only include Spanish speakers, e.g. not including Brazil. But I don't know if they are used in a different way in the US.

That would greatly reduce the usability of the charts in this case. The charts are much more useful when they all present the categories in the same order.
