The name

hispanic is not american term lol

>>60499765
Probably origin vs culture

Like Hispanics descend from Spaniards, and latinos are catholics speaking Spanish.

Or perhaps I am talking nonsense

>>60499765
hispanic is a spanish speaker
latino is someone from latin america

but this is just my interpretation based on nothing, we should wait for some greasy sudacas to respond

Not 100% sure but US Americans call any immigrant from a spanish speaking country a latino/hispanic. I remember I read this was enforced under Nixon because they didn't fall under other "races". Yes, they catalogued latino/hispanic as a race. I don't know about now though.

you didnt clarify anything
go listen to some reggaeton while the adults are talking

Latinos are people from Latin America, all of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking peoples of the Americas

Hispanic is someone from a Spanish-speaking culture, including European Spaniards, Spanish-speakers from the Americas, and technically Equatoguineans

Nowadays we have "Hispanic/Latino" as a separate category on government forms, it's really weird. Like for my driver's license, they asked what my race was, and then they asked if I was Hispanic/Latino. So "non-Hispanic White" and "Hispanic White" are two separate groups as far as the government is concerned. Same goes for blacks.

hispanics are portuguese and spaniards
latinos are romanians, french, italians, portuguese and spanish
