Hispanic refers to people who are Spanish - as in, from Spain. Latino refers to people who are from Latin America.
Latino: (Capital “L,” with “a” or “o” at the end used to connote gender.) Politically correct term for those from Spanish or Portuguese speaking cultures. “We use it instead of Hispanic when we want to refer to many different national groups where there has been an indigenous-European mix,” says Sen. |
