10 Awesome Latino Inventions

A fury erupted when the Washington Post reported last week that Former Heritage Foundation researcher Jason Richwine argued in his Harvard doctoral dissertation that Hispanics are genetically predisposed to have lower IQs.

Take a look at some of the great Latino inventors in the slideshow above.
