Population

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jose,_California#2010
"The racial makeup of San Jose was 404,437 (42.8%) White, 303,138 (32.0%) Asian (10.6% Vietnamese, 6.7% Chinese, 5.6% Filipino, 4.6% Indian, 1.2% Korean, 1.2% Japanese, 0.4% Cambodian, 0.2% Pakistani, 0.1% Laotian), 30,242 (3.2%) African American, 8,297 (0.9%) Native American, 4,017 (0.4%) Pacific Islander, 148,749 (15.7%) from other races, and 47,062 (5.0%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 313,636 persons (33.2%). Among the Hispanic population, 28.2% are Mexican, 0.7% Salvadoran, 0.5% Puerto Rican, and 0.3% Nicaraguan."

In the last sentence, is "28.2%" relative to the Hispanic population or the entire population of San Jose?

It seems like the last sentence was poorly written. I might be wrong though.
