Latino = From Latin America Hispanic = From a Spanish speaking country You can be Latino but not Hispanic = Brazilian You can be Hispanic but not Latino = Spanish (nationality)
I hate when people do that, I'm a U.S. American of Dominican descent and when people refer to Latinos/Hispanics as Spanish People, I sometimes correct them by saying "I speak Spanish but it doesn't make me Spanish/Spaniard, in the very same way that you speak English and it doesn't make you an Englishman, British nor a United Kingdom subject" but it's something that has persisted for decades now in the states.
platano214 both of you two are idiots hispanics are from spain not latin america, LATINOS are from latin america not HISPANICS. hispanics are from spain
If you took the time to "Carefully" read what I wrote you'd notice your reply to my comment was a wasted effort, since I never said what you think I did.
+Harobed That's hard tho, cause black could be someone with background from africa when really it should mean dark skin, which you could be indian, african, jamaican and so on...
Latinos are people who are descendants of countries that speak Latin derived languages such as Portugal, Italy, and Spain. Hispanic means people who descended from the Iberian peninsula excluding Portugal which is pretty much Spain. The only possible overlap is if you are of Spanish descent you are Latino and Hispanic.
+Poppa J Walker not quite; Hispanic people are people from Spanish speaking countries (so most of South America, and Spain, but not Brazil), and Latino people are from 'Latin American counties', so basically anything from Mexico down, regardless of language.
I'm half Brazilian and identity as Latina because I was born there. But I always thought Latinos where people from countries with Latin based languages. So Spain and Spanish speaking countries, Brazil and Portugal, Italy, and France. And Hispanics are those from Spanish speaking countries.
+Shay Kashif you are partially correct. The term latino refers to a person from Latin Amercia. Latin America is defined by the countries in South America with a latin language. Countries like the Surinames are a part of South-America, but not of Latin-America (native language is Dutch, which is a non-latin language). So people from France, Italy and Spain can't be latino, but Spannish people ARE hispanic. Brazilians like you are Latino/Latina (speak a latin language and Brazil lies in Latin-American) but not hispanic (you speak Portuguese, not Spannish) and people from Colombia etc. are both Latino/Latina and Hispanic
+marcusje11 That is a modern American definition of "latino" invented by racist anglophones to differentiate between themselves and Latin Americans. In latin languages, "latino" just means "latin" which refers to descendants of the Latin people (modern day romance speakers). Latin American or Latino Americano are terms that exclude Latin Europe, but "latino" simply does not. Anyone who has latin blood is latino, regardless of race or country/region of origin.
Bathrobe Warrior well, that is the definition used by most sites as well, I'm just working with the info I have. I personally don't use any of those terms, because I am Dutch and we mostly just call people by their nationality
+marcusje11 Yeah, it's frustrating because that's the definition that has been driven into the mainstream, since american hispanic people tend to use it (which is fine, as they are latino in most cases, but it doesn't refer exclusively to them lol).
Bathrobe Warrior Well, I guess I would have the same if someone would call me European. I'd probably be like: ehm, I'm Dutch thank you very much haha. But yeah, latino has gotten a lot more negative loading to it recently
A lot of Spaniards settled in Latin America so a lot of people in Latin America are mixed. I think that is why a lot of people dont mind both terms. I have Spanish blood and indigenous blood.
I'm Hispanic (Mexican-American in fact), and I support Donald Trump. I think everyone should if they care about their country. He's not just on giant racist running around as you all would like to believe. He will take charge and get things done for a change. Just because he's against people breaking the law doesn't mean people should hate him! Illegal is illegal. Oops. Guess it's okay when I say it because I'm not white?
Hispanics are people who are associate as/are born in a predominantly Spanish-speaking country. Latino/a are people who associate as/are born in Latin/Central/South America. Spanish are people who associate as/are born in Spain. Cuban is in the Caribbean and its people are Hispanic but not Latino/a. If you think about it Jamaica and Haiti are in the Caribbean. Would you label Jamaicans/Haitians as Latino? Likely not. That's just my 2 cents.
what about Puerto Rico and Dominican republic?? I've actually always been confused by this, because I'm half Mexican so either term never mattered to me lol
+Jinkun2702 Actually Spanish is just the language if you come from Spain you are a Spaniard. Latinos are from Latino-America because our languages are descendants of the latin language. Hispanic is only recognizing that we were primarily conquered by Spain.
+Chelsea Love why don't you see yourself Latina ? I'm half Chilean and quarter Spanish and my parents always taught me that i'm latina! You should be proud of it! Xx
Dark with curly hair, I'm Honduran and seen as a Latina by other Latinos. But in America I'm considered black ignorantly enough because of my skin color 😏 We come in all colors, all shapes and embrace all that's within our culture. For the people saying hispanics are white need to travel and read a book 📖
I thought hispanic people were those with Spanish ancestors? In which case they would be classified as "white" if their ancestors still lived in Europe so what's the difference?
I get frustraded when people asume I'm from Spain because I speak spanish. No, I'm from Chile for godsake! I've bumped into very ignorant people who think "IF YOU SPEAK SPANISH YOU MUST BE FROM SPAIN". But if not that, mexican -_- :c
***** Lo hago, pero pasa cada ves que conosco a alguien por primera ves -.- En verdad no me molesta tanto, pero mientras pasa en mi mente estoy come: No idiota xd
charlie lopez they would be European. Latin American species a group geographically, not culturally. That's why Brasilians are Latinos but don't speak spanish.
+katomii Spaniard that's a new term for me, but still Latino is a term used to refers to a person who speak any language which come from Latin and Spanish is one of them
what about "Hispanoamericanos" or "hispanohablantes". That's what I was thought in school studying Spanish in Italy, and that's what the book said not "Latinos" . Maybe because in Europe saying Latino means from the old Latin language. (Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Romanian languages) Hmmm...
"Hispanohablantes" or "hispanic-speakers" are the people who speaks in spanish, and "hispanoamericano" or "hispanic-american" are the people from America who speaks spanish. By the way, when I say America I mean AMERICA, not US. America is all the territory from the north of Canada to the south of Chile... that's right gringos, your country is not called America... well, in fact your contry doesn't have a name, I mean "United States of America" is not a name, it's a description. It means that you're a bunch of states, united by political and economical interests, located in America. See? it's not a name.
I know what you are saying and I agree with you what I don't think it's very accurate is to say "latino"... In my opinion I think it's more correct to say hispanoamericano but again maybe because it's a very long term/name it's easier to say "latino"... I don't know and I don't really care I mean it doesn't affect my life but I was just sharing my opinion I don't want to fight with anybody
+Andreea West "Latino" is more global... I mean... it's the name of all the people who speaks any language that comes from latín, and because spanish comes from latín it's ok to say "latino", and this also includes portuguese and brazilian people. But if you're talking only about spanish speakers, then it's more accurate to say "hispano", "hispanohablante" or "hispanoamericano".
I don't necessarily think it's their fault. Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world and Mexicans make up the largest Hispanic population in the US.
I'm not saying that people should know what country I'm from, I'm saying that I wish they would ask instead of just assume. Another thing I don't like is that when I say no, they are like, "oh you just know Spanish"
+Gregory Pabst It's people's ignorance to generalize and assume first but it's also stereotype in the US. That's why when Donald Trump is talking about Mexicans, all Latinos and Hispanics have to be on guard because he's talking about all of us.
+Gregory Pabst Yeah haha, that is pathetic generalization and plain ignorance. Yes Mexico is the largest Spanish speaking country but just because one speaks Spanish doesn't mean they are Mexican. They should try asking instead of assuming. Personally by accents I think we could figure where people are especially Spaniards and Argentinians with their accents.
+Jayra Chavarria latinob= ppl from latin america/carribbean. hispanic = ppl who speak spanish. you can be both or just one. brazilians are latino but not hispanic. people from spain are hispanic but not latino.
i see it as true hispanics being those having roots in hispania (spain) meaning only the criollos (full blooded spanish descendants born in the americas) would be hispanic and since the majority of "hispanics" are not full blooded (with many not having spanish blood at all) the label is inadequate. although the latino label originates from latin speaking europeans i see it as more adequate for us modern day "latinos" because it includes everyone from or with roots in latin america regardless of race/ethnicity.
I'm Brazillian and I'm white. If someone asked my etnic identification I would say white (even tough I would die to be able to get tan skin). Most of the people on my social life are white too, and my mother's whole family is blue eyed. One of my best friends is a natural blonde with green eyes, other two have dark hair and light brown skin. If people asked where am I from, than I'd say Brazil, of South America, maybe. Why people try so hard to mix the color of people's skin with the place their mothers got in labor? I mean, if I was black and my mom had me in Japan, than I would be black and Japanese. No "black and asian". I would also be from Asia, meaning I'm asian. But not by my apearence, by a simple writing there is in my birth certificate. Do you people get what I mean? Wanna label someone, label their apearence appart of the lenguage/country/continent/ where they where born. Why don't people be their unique selves? Labels mess everything up
+Dulce Ximena In my opinion there are no races, just ethnicy. We all came from Africa sooner or later anyway, I think the term "race" feels wrong, so I don't use it. I hope that I didn't confuse you, I'm here just trying to say my opinion: If my blonde friend moved to the US and married a blonde guy, their children would be called white. If my mixed raced mostly amerindian brown skinned best friend did the same and married a white black-haired white guy and had visibly "latino" children, than they wold call my friend's children latino. But the thing is: they both where born in the same country, same city, same hospital...
+RedCatracho I don't speak english well yet, my mother language is portuguese, and I dedicated a long time to learn italian for my school, so I'm just beggining. I'm sorry
+Luisa Calsavara Well, nowadays race is usually defined as a group of people that share physical characteristics deemed by society as relevant. i.e. skin colour has been deemed relevant, but height hasn't. So by this definition races do exist. Ethnicity is about culture, it's about the environment you live in. So you can't really just be ethnically white. White people around the world live in different cultures and therefore have different ethnicities.
+Luisa Calsavara also, Latino is not a race. Some people use it to mean that, yes, but it's inaccurate. The label Latino is about culture and not about appearance. If you see the video, you'll notice that there's a pale girl in there: she's white, and she's latino too.
I always thought that if you've got Spanish ancestry you're classified as Hispanic. Regardless of what you look like, if you've got a Spanish surname and are from a Spanish speaking country i'd classify you as Hispanic.
well Latin means people who are from a romance language speaking country or territory for example I'm from Bolivia I'm Hispanic since we speak Spanish along other native languages and we are Latin since Spanish is one of the languages in the romance group . they are not races since most people in Latin america are of mixed race , African , native American , white European and the list goes on . Summary if you are a native speaker of French , Spanish , Portuguese , Italian , Romanian you are Latin . latin americans are people from the America's who speak a romance language , Québec in Canada would be considered Latin, Haitians as well as Brazilians since they speak French and Portuguese respectively . thanks ! gracias ! Merci ! obrigado !
Thank you! My ethnicity is Portuguese and I’ve had a very hard time figuring out what I am exactly. Really though I speak Spanish and English but I’m pretty sure I’m Latino.
I am from Romania and 60-66% of my language is Latin. Shouldn't then Romania be considered along with Spain,France ,Italy and Portugal latin countries?
The Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards are the real Latinos/Latins. These Spanish speaking Mestizo Indians from Latin America are a bunch of creepy people who don't even know what Latino means and where this great language and culture come from. It's not that we "should be considered Latinos/Latins". We are but Latino is not our race. Latino is our language and culture and we only identify with it when in a discussion where we acknowledge out Latin heritage. " We Italians, we Romanians, etc. being of Latin culture prefer this and not that ". Along these lines. We use our Race to identify ourselves which is White or we use the countries we come from. Instead these so called Hispanics of the Americas from Latin Americans now want to be called Latinos and use this invented term as their Ethnicity and at times as their Race when Latino only refers to Language and culture which is not their language and not their culture anyway. It's all European and nothing "native". And the US Census Bureau which has been taken over by Hispanics and other racial minorities lists Latino as an Ethnicity for Hispanics. They all want to rewrite history. www.latinos-latins.online www.mexica-movement.org
Yes, Romania is a Latin Country. Don't let the useless Red-Skin Indians from what the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called "Amerique Latine" (Latin America) confuse you. These are the Latins/Latinos: Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards and have been Latins for more than 2000 years since the Romans. "Hispanics" of the Americas are "Latin Americans" by geography of origin with no Latin culture and no Latin anything. They only speak a language, Spanish, which comes from the Latin language of the Romans and nothing else. Those scumbags don't know what the term Latino/Latino means and where it comes from. www.latinos-latins.online www.mexica-movement.org
@@bull419 It's you who make no sense. Listen, there was nothing Latin on this continent before the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, brought it here with them with their Latin-derived languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish. This is why they called that part of this continent "Latin" America because of their Latin languages. It's you the Mestizo Indians who should stop denigrating this great Italian/Roman heritage. Latino/Latin refers only to language and culture, the Latin language (Lingua Latina) spoken by the Romans and their Latin Culture and it doesn't have anything to do with you. It's not your heritage, it's nothing "native". It's all European. latinos-latins.online mexica-movement.org You cannot take the term "Latin America" and make it "Latino" and give a different meaning. Stop the lies you bunch of useless people. And I want to say something else: You are not even "Hispanics". The real Hispanics are the people of Spain and Portugal.
I feel like they are on the right track. however as a Puerto Rican/ Cuban- American I identify as both Hispanic and Latino. IMO any one who speaks a Latin language (i.e French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, ect.) are all Latino. or of Latin Decent. but hispanic is specific to those whom are hispanohablantes or grew up in a Spanish speaking country/household.
+zdoster what if I called you New Zealander all the time? I'd get annoying because you are not from New Zealand, you are from X country. (Though if you are New Zealander disregard this whole comment 😂)
my mom and dad are mexican. my dad is from Nuevo Leon and my mom is from Guanajuato. i on the other hand was born in Houston Tx. so I identify as Mexican-American. its less complicated.
I´m Portuguese and I am Latina, because my language ( Portuguese) came from latin. Latinos are the people that speak languages that came from latin( Portuguese, Spanish, Romania, French and Italian). So European people can also be Latinos.
+Annie Ramos You are actually right! The video is not giving right information about what being Latino is- Has nothing to do with geography it has to do with language. You are Latino if you are from a country where the official language has its roots with Latin! Someone from Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Rumania etc. is Latin person. In fact in South America there are two country that are not Latin : Surinam ( Speak Dutch) and Guyana ( Speak English) Sorry my English. im Argentinian.
Hispanic is both an adjective and a noun. There are many HISPANIC cutlures in the world. This includes places outside of Latin America including Equatorial Guinea in Africa, Philippines, and Guam (Marianas Islands). Although not popularly recognized by most as being Hispanic, their cultures are undoubtedly HISPANIC.
I am from Argentina, and eventhough I am "latina", I don't identify with that word bc, here in Argentina, we don't have the classic "latin culture" we are different, I think. So I would just call myself, hispanic.
Hispania was the Roman name for Iberia (Spain and Portugal). Folks who come from Iberia and LatAm are Hispanic. They are also Latin. French and Italians are also Latins.
FUN FACT EVERYONE!!!!!!!! Hispanic means anyone from Spanish or Portuguese descendance because Spain and Portugal are both in the Iberian peninsula previously known as Hispania during roman times, also they were once the same nation. So technically there are American Hispanics and and European Hispanics. SO... if Hispanic meant Spanish speaking Americans, English speaking Americans would be called Britons.
+pirulin pin pon ONLY ONE that finally says the truth, seems that Roman History is not even touched by Americans, what a shame, it is really amazing and entertaining.
lol I don't know why people are so uppity about that, people ask my family that all the time because we're light skinned mexicans with curly hair and when they guess wrong we just laugh it off and tell them, it's just funny to us
I think people get offended when someone assumes the race they are. But if you were to ask just oh what ethnicity are you or race then than would not be offensive. Just don't say oh are you Mexican ?
Ruthie Hardin ask me anytime, i don't mind and according to my mom i don't even look like what i am so guessing is out of the question, so you might as well ask
Hispanic: From a country descendant of Spain or with links to Spain. Portugal: Was once Spain, Portuguese: Hispanic. Brazil: Conquered by Portugal. Brazil: Could be referred to as Hispanic
latino: a country that speaks a language that comes from latin. hispanic: a country related to Spain, and yes Brazil was once Spanish even though they spoke portuguese
. Yes, Portugal was once part of Spain, and since Portugal controlled Brazil, the territory of Brazil was part of Spain, some people dont knwo their history ;)
Hispania is a area of Europe where Spain and Portugal are. Hispanic people are also Portuguese speaking people as well Spanish. If most of your family is from Spain or Portugal you are Hispanic.
ok people but consider this: i live in america and i speak english fluently. i look white so people just assume im from america. and im not. yes, my skin is white but im brazilian and identify as latina.
Melapples Nope, according to the federal government, Portuguese is considered hispanic and if a portuguese person applies for a job and writes "hispanic" the employer can't legally challenge it
Melapples The term hispanic comes from the word HISPANIA, which was the Roman word for the Iberian Peninsula, that being Spain AND Portugal. The assumption that hispanic refers to someone from a spanish speaking country is therefore incorrect since the term Hispania predates the Spanish language (which wasn't created until after the fall of the western Roman Empire in the fifth century AD) the term hispania had been used for hundreds of years prior to the creation of the Spanish language itself.
People from Latin America are not Hispanics. They are Latin Americans. These are the Hispanics: Spaniards and Portuguese because they come from HISPANIA which is the name that the Romans gave to what is now Spain and Portugal.
+Pouneh Vaziri So Latino/Latina means you're from Latin America regardless of what your racial or ethnic background is? For example, someone like Gisele Bundchen is Brazilian but she's of German descent. She's still a Latina? And someone like Alberto Fujimori is a Peruvian man of Japanese descent. He's Hispanic since he speaks Spanish. But he's also Latino as well since he's from Latin America? Sorry for my ignorance but I've always gotten these labels confused.
gk891 Gisele bundchen is Latina as she is Brasilian like you mentioned Brazilian: someone born in (or originates from) Brazil (does not denote ancestry or "racial" ethnicity) Latina: the feminine form of"latino" Latino: someone living in (or originating from) Latin America, as the word "latino" is short for the Spanish term "latino americano." Hispanic: a term that originally denotes one's ancestral relationship to ancient Hispania (Iberian Peninsula), chiefly used to denote one's relationship to modern-day Spain (if one is of Spaniard descent, they are Hispanic). Cubans, Mexicans, Argentinians, Brazilians, Guyanese and Surinamese are all considered Latinos, because they're all located in Latin America. Spaniards are not Latinos since they do not live in Latin American. Gisele Bündchen is a Latina (by her regional ethnicity, being born and raised in Brazil). She is not Hispanic, though, since (at least, to my knowledge) doesn't have any other ancestry in her but German. She's German Brazilian, in much the same way a black American is African American or an American of Irish descent is Irish American. And while she's by technically a Latina, the reason why she's not a "Latina" to many North Americans is because we tend to have a common sense here of thinking of "Latino/Latina" as being someone who more immediately looks like they're from Latin America. In other words, you can look at Sofia Vergara and there can be no mistaking she's of Latin-American origin, but for ppl like Gisele Bündchen, it's much harder to tell just from looking at her that she's from Latin America. This is where the confusion lies--many ppl aren't much aware that "latino/latina" bears no connotation of ancestral original, but regional origin. In summary! Latino/Latina simply denotes where the Spanish-speaking individual lives or originates from within Latin America, regardless of ancestry. It's an ethnicity of region. Hispanic simply denotes that one has Spanish (Spaniard) roots. It's an ethnicity of ancestry. Alberto Fujimori would be considered an Asian Hispanic. I hope this clears things up for you! (PS some parts were taken from Google as I searched the actual definitions for you). Let me know if you have other questions. :)
This video kind of annoys me because you can be Latina/Latino if you are of Latin decent. Not everyone who is Latin is from Latin America. People that are from Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and even Greek (and probably a few that I can't think of at the moment) consider themselves Latina/Latino. People from Latin America are generally half Latin and half indigenous whereas people from the other countries I mentioned are more full Latin yet if they were to call themselves Latina/Latino people would tell them they are not. This concept just bothers me.
Don't be confused. Everything Latin/Latino, be it the Latin people, be it the Latin language (Lingua Latina) be it the Latin Culture (Cultura Latina) all comes from Italy and not from Spain and not from Latin America. A person from Latin America is a " Latin American".
For me latino is people from south america or "latin" america. Hispanic is the people who speak spanish. But some people have diffrent opinions on the definitions so.
+xonneka as far as I can tell, Latino is basically anyone who originates South of the US, and Hispanic is the subset of Latino people who come from Spanish speaking countries, which are a majority of the Latino countries but not all. So a Brazilian and a Mexican are both Latino, but only the Mexican is also Hispanic. Hope that made sense!
The Latin term (adjective; Latin Latin, "that or that which is natural of the people who spoke Latin") has different meanings and is often confusing . El término latino (adjetivo; del latín latinus, "aquél o aquello que es natural del pueblo que hablaba latín") tiene diversas acepciones y suele prestarse a confusión. (Wikipedia)
I hate when people have one image of a typical Latinx or Hispanic person and when you say that you are this or you are that they deny you because of the way you look. I'm half Mexican and half black and I've heard people of all races tell me I'm not black or I'm not Mexican because I'm brown, or because i don't speak Spanish, or because my hair isn't straight. Latinxs/Hispanics, and African Americans come in all shades and colors, with all different types of features. Please keep this in mind before telling someone what race they are -.-
don't call me Hispanic because I'm not Hispanic I'm Latino point blank period and proud if you wanna date latin women marry Latin men be apart of the latino community in any way at best you could learn the difference between the two
You may be disappointed because you don't know what Latino/Latin means. Latino means being: Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese and Spaniards. You are Latin American with no Latin culture. www.latinos-latins.online www.mexica-movement.org
Hispanic? I dont think this people are from Hispania(Spain and Portugal) in roman times so.. latin dont, they are latin AMERICAN(like AFRICAN AMERICAN) or Hispanic American, not spanish, no hispanic and not latin. Latins are spanish,portuguese,romanian,italians,frenchs. Hispanics are in old times Spanish and Portuguese and in modern times only Spanish. So dont forget the term AMERICAN, latin AMERICAN,Hispanic AMERICAN, its important, black people in America are not african really? they are african American people, this is the same.
Chelsea Denise Chelsea, with respect, not. Hispanic are people from Hispania(Spain and Portugal) so dont. In the US cant they can not appropriate terms and tell us how to use terms that are completely unknown, sorry but not. They cant change or owns terms. Hispania is the Iberic peninsula. They are Hispanic AMERICAN, its not difficult to understand, like african american because african american dont be african really? This is the same, they are not hispanic, they are hispanic american.
Thank you for making this!!! And I agree- can we do African American vs black vs African? Also, can we do he differences with Chinese groups like mandarin, Taiwanese? I think it's so important to be educated on this 😀
Mexican is not an ethnicity. It is a nationality like American. Hispanic and Latino are neither races or ethnicity. Latin America is made up of many different people of many different ethnic background.
***** Mexican is for the most part an ethnicity. That is how most Mexicans view it anyway. Just because the Whites don't get to pick the label doesn't mean there isn't one.
PokéCenter I know what it means. I also know the difference between Latino and Hispanic so you're preaching to the choir. I say I'm Boricua to avoid the inevitable follow up question when I say I'm Latina/Hispanic "So are you Mexican? Dominican?" etc. Hence why I'm straight to the point when it comes to my identity.
PokéCenter I just don't feel like answering 21 questions on my identity. Especially from non Hispanic/Latinx ignorant Americans that think every Latinx/Hispanic is Mexican. It gets tiresome.
Unless its in context with a conversation or something of that nature, I've never felt comfortable asking people what their ethnicity is. I don't know, I guess I just feel like there isn't any reason that I need to know that. Great vid!
Hispanics of the Americas are not culturally Latins. They only speak a Latin-derived language ,Spanish. That's all. This is why the European Latin colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called that area "Latin America" because of their Latin languages.
I am from Brazil and I do not consider myself even latino. I don't believe that there is a Latin America in fact, it is just an empty concept with no clear meaning. The Latino identity is something that belong to immigrants living in the USA. When spanish-speaking people immigrate to United States they creat this sense of community, but this sense does not exist when they are in their countries of origin. I just consider myself brazilian and a recent research discovered that the majority of brazilians do not call themselves latinos, but only brazilians.
You have no Latino identity. You are "Latin Americans" by geography only and the term Latino refers only to language and culture, the language spoken by the Romans and their Latin culture and it doesn't have anything to do with Spanish-speaking Mestizo-Red-Skin Indians. It's all Italian heritage and nothing "native". www.mexica-movement.org
Latin America was named this wat by the Latin European Colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards. The reason was because their languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, are Latin derived languages and the Latin language comes from Italy. That's all.
It's called Latin America because the Latin European Colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, spoke languages derived from the Latin language of the Romans, French, Portuguese and Spanish. Also because they wanted to make a distinction between the Northern Anglo-Saxon, English Speaking, Protestant America and their Latin speaking, Catholic America. So they called it Latin America.
I also do not like the Latin term most Brazilians do not like, we know the origin of the Latin term, the problem is that we do not like Americans to be calling us '' Latinos '' we prefer that we call Brazilian, our country is huge, compared to other Latin countries.
@@hilariovasquez1534 Brazil is the country with the most white people in Latin America. and the 3 world behind the USA and Russia, with the White population: 91 million.
I'm from Spain, i know I'm hispanic. I still always get called latina which i know I'm not because all of my background comes from Spain, so wouldn't that make me white? I actually tell people i am white but i still get labeled as latina.
+Chloe Ramìrez-Alvarez You're right you're not Latina I'm Dominican and I'm Hispanic & Latino, i just think because alot of people really Don't know the difference
I know exactly how you feel, while I have Spanish and Chilean heritage, and technically count as both, people don't understand its possible to be both Hispanic and/or Latino/a and be a different race at the same time.
Latino/a = Latin Latin = someone from a country speaking a language developed from Latin Latin Americans are technically white too, since they have a lot of Spanish blood. Without the Spanish blood, they wouldn’t be Latinos. (3 years late)
USA people is so ignorant -.- Exist a place in Italia called Latina, so exist latinos who are Europeans too and even if they don't speak Spanish brazilians are Latins too, Latino/a is a person who born in a country where the main lenguage comes from Latin (who born in Europe). Hispanic is someone who with some kind of Spanish ascendens that wrongs alot during Spanish colony time in America but, nothing is more offensive for a member of a ethnic who call him Hispanic. I don't think who someone on this video is Latin or Hispanic, but I understand why they wanna be considereded in that way, USA have not a cultural root, and they are looking for that, how is even possible say who you say you say are 4 different kinds of as dense
My parents are both from Mexico and I was born in the U.S. I identify myself with Hispanic, Latina, Chicana, and Mexican-American. But I also label myself as a Mestiza, my father has deeper roots with the Native American people of Mexico (Aztec descendants), while my mother has more European roots. So Mestiza would be the most adequate self-identification for me.
+Maria Ximena Otalora Cordoba Yes, they speak French and French is a language derived from Latin. For example, Curacao is in South-America, but is not part of Latin-America, because they speak Dutch and Dutch is not a Latin language
Latino/a= Refers to languages descended from Latin. Thus the Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian etc..) Hispanic= People from Spanish speaking countries with historic ties to Spain Very Simple...
perfect awesome video, super helpful.. up to 2:33 ("What are you?")... gotta redo that, please, or put some text over it to give a better question for learning about people's backgrounds... "Where's your family from?" or "What's your ethnicity?" or something, anything... just not that. Makes me wanna answer: "Human."
I'm Brazilian and I don't consider myself as Latina, we are not from Latin America we are from South America we are Americans too, we are from the American continent, I'm not Latina, Hispanic, nor anything like that, I'm Brazilian, South American
If I don't consider myself a human anymore, I'm not gonna change into a dog, I'm still gonna be a human. The same applies for us when it comes to being Latino(a).
Latino=being from a country that speaks a language that comes from Latin ex: French,Italian,Spanish, Portuguese the term Hispanic was created in the 1970s by a racist person working in the united states census bureau :)
Latino = (France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Romania and some European microstates) Latinoamerican = from some American country where main language is a Romance language Hispanic = countries or region that where part of Spain (this include mostly of USA states) and people that have Spanish ancestors (language or surname doesn't matter)
+Carmen? cuando era mas pequeña se metian conmigo y me pusieron un mote. Conoci a una chica, y me dijo si me importaba que me llamaran menchu. Tras tantos años con un mote burlesco un mote cariñoso se me hizo genial, y ahora lo adoro, como recordatorio de que supere esa fase. Aprendi que lo que me llamen, si es con cariño, es genial ^^ y somos afortunadas de tener nuestro nombre :D
Menchu M en ese caso el diminutivo está bien, pero en mi caso, ya te digo, mi caso personal, prefiero los motes burlescos a los diminutivos jajjajajaja
I'm a pale Mexican girl and I hate it it's just so annoying when people question me when I say I'm Mexican and then they ask stupid questions like omg you speak Spanish say something and I'm just awkwardly standing there like or their like but you don't look Mexican how are you Mexican ? like STFU 😂
Latin: European that speak any language coming from latin. Latin American: Any one that speak any language that comes from latin like French, Italian or Spanish Hispanic: someone that speak spanish
I was kind of fuzzy between when I should and shouldn't say Hispanic. Now I know the Latino is a more inclusive term. Great video on a topic I think needed to be talked about!
People from Latin American are Latin Americans. They are mostly Indians so why they want to identify with a Roman Latin heritage? The Latin is not native of this continent. It came from Europe.
Do you know how to read? I told who the people from Latin America are. People from Latin America are "Latin Americans". This is the way the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called that area of this continent. The reason why they called it Latin America is because their languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, come from the Latin Language of the Romans. Latino means something else and doesn't have anything to do with the Hispanics of the Americas. "Latino" or Lingua Latina, was the language spoken by the Romans and their Latin culture. The term "Latino" refers only to language and culture and not the way the Hispanic here in the Americas want to interpret it. It's not their linguistic and cultural heritage. Is the heritage of the Italians and of the Latin Europeans: French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards. www.latino-latins.online www.mexica-movement.org
@Random Luck You are the lazy fool and ignorant like all the Hispanics. Hispania was the name given by the Romans to what is now Spain and Portugal. The Romans colonized that area and remained there for close to 700 years. They imposed their Latin language (Lingua Latina) Roman Laws and Christianity upon the local people then when the Spaniards, the Portuguese and the French in modern times came to what is now the "Americas" to colonize they imposed their Latin derived languages (French, Portuguese and Spanish) upon to local indigenous population. They also imposed their Roman-derived Laws and Christianity. Stop the lies. You the Hispanics are a bunch of ignorant who have no identity but want to make up one.
@Random Luck The Romans did not impose "Hispanic Language". True and "Hispanic" comes from Hispania, in Europe. Spanish-speaking people of the Americas have a connection with "Hispania". cultural and in many instances genetic. Mestizo. It's up to them as descendants of Spaniards and Portuguese if they want to identify themselves as "Hispanics". Apparently, they don't want to identify with Europe so they should drop the term "Hispanic" and more so should drop the term :"Latino" as they are not Romans or descendants of the Romans.Latino/Latin refers only to the language spoken by the Romans and their culture.
I'm half Argentinian half American, so I know English and Spanish. My aunt is from Brazil, and she can speak Portuguese and English. We always compare words and try to each each other things! It's crazy how similar words are. I never knew any Portuguese before I met her in 2010.
Hispanic: Spanish-speaking/from a Spanish-speaking country Latino: from Latin America In Brazil they speak Portuguese, which makes Brazilians Latino but not Hispanic. In Spain, they speak Spanish but are not from Latin America, which makes the Spanish/Spaniards Hispanic but not Latino. Surprised you guys didn't learn that in school.
In fact spanish, italians, portuguese... are latinos too because our language comes from latin and hispanic are the ones whose language is spanish (spain and latin america except brazil)
THEBackpack 10 I’m Mexican American and Latino people who are from Mexico and came to America are just Mexicans on the other hand people who have parents that are Mexican but that person was born in America than you are Latino American and Mexican American
Naomi Duran that’s is actually not true, if someone who was born in mexico or any other country and for some reason has American citizenship, they are Mexican Americans or whatever they identify themselves, my uncle was born in cuba and he has American citizenship, so he is a cuban american
wild sabrina Latins are people who speak a romance languages which includes Spanish. latin America wouldn't be latin if The Spaniards never settled there babe!!! 😃
*Latins were an Indo-European tribe that settled what is today Italy, Let us not forget that the Iberian Peninsulas was settled by Romans, Phoecians, Celtic tribes, Germanic tribes, Moors, Jews, the Romans had a Hellianic culture (Greek) . The Basques are part of the Kingdom of Spain , they do not belong to any Indo-Euroepan family*
But the left needs every one to segregate themselves so they can divide and conquer, play each invented race against each other. And the left especially needs to convince Spanish speaking Americans that they are not white, since they need them to be oppressed minorities so they'll vote Democrat. Even though most of them are white, while rest are black, mestizo, zambo, mulatoo or indegenous.
If you live in the US, you identify as American. If you live in Ste Martin or Guadeloupe, you identify as French. If you live in Aruba or Curaçao, you identify as Dutch.
Individual Liberty it is my nationality because I was born here in the United States yet I am ethnically and culturally mexican even I love my American culture.
I only get offended when people confuse Latino/Hispanic, with Spanish. Spanish means you are from Spain.
I completely agree ! I'm Mexican and when people say I'm Spanish... no I'm Mexican. Lol
That's ma boy! :'D Viva España
In fact, call Latinos to south americans is an error.
They're south americans.
Neither Spanish or Hispanic. Not even Latinos.
nah it's all the same
What's ironic about that is that I've met a lot of Hispanics who say they're Spanish. They probably think Spanish and Hispanic is the same thing
Latino = From Latin America
Hispanic = From a Spanish speaking country
You can be Latino but not Hispanic = Brazilian
You can be Hispanic but not Latino = Spanish (nationality)
+Generic Gametag True. Spaniards are Latin Mediterranean. But still Latinos.

I got excited too! Nicoyas!!
Hispanic means you come from a Spanish speaking country if you say your Spanish that means your from Spain where do they find these people
I hate when people do that, I'm a U.S. American of Dominican descent and when people refer to Latinos/Hispanics as Spanish People, I sometimes correct them by saying "I speak Spanish but it doesn't make me Spanish/Spaniard, in the very same way that you speak English and it doesn't make you an Englishman, British nor a United Kingdom subject" but it's something that has persisted for decades now in the states.

Now do Black vs African American
Well a black person would only say "I'm African AMERICAN",If they're American
you mean african vs african american?
Isn't African American a politer way of saying black?
+Harobed That's hard tho, cause black could be someone with background from africa when really it should mean dark skin, which you could be indian, african, jamaican and so on...
+manzilla48 basically yes
I feel bad I never knew the difference between Hispanic and Latina...
Latinos are people who are descendants of countries that speak Latin derived languages such as Portugal, Italy, and Spain. Hispanic means people who descended from the Iberian peninsula excluding Portugal which is pretty much Spain. The only possible overlap is if you are of Spanish descent you are Latino and Hispanic.
+Poppa J Walker not quite; Hispanic people are people from Spanish speaking countries (so most of South America, and Spain, but not Brazil), and Latino people are from 'Latin American counties', so basically anything from Mexico down, regardless of language.
+Prince of Chetarria ahh I see thank you for the correction
+Prince of Chetarria actually the other person was right
not, they are not latinos, they are latinamericanos(Latin American) is very different because latin people are in europe.
I'm half Brazilian and identity as Latina because I was born there. But I always thought Latinos where people from countries with Latin based languages. So Spain and Spanish speaking countries, Brazil and Portugal, Italy, and France.
And Hispanics are those from Spanish speaking countries.
+Shay Kashif you are partially correct. The term latino refers to a person from Latin Amercia. Latin America is defined by the countries in South America with a latin language. Countries like the Surinames are a part of South-America, but not of Latin-America (native language is Dutch, which is a non-latin language). So people from France, Italy and Spain can't be latino, but Spannish people ARE hispanic. Brazilians like you are Latino/Latina (speak a latin language and Brazil lies in Latin-American) but not hispanic (you speak Portuguese, not Spannish) and people from Colombia etc. are both Latino/Latina and Hispanic
+marcusje11 That is a modern American definition of "latino" invented by racist anglophones to differentiate between themselves and Latin Americans. In latin languages, "latino" just means "latin" which refers to descendants of the Latin people (modern day romance speakers). Latin American or Latino Americano are terms that exclude Latin Europe, but "latino" simply does not. Anyone who has latin blood is latino, regardless of race or country/region of origin.
Bathrobe Warrior
well, that is the definition used by most sites as well, I'm just working with the info I have. I personally don't use any of those terms, because I am Dutch and we mostly just call people by their nationality
+marcusje11 Yeah, it's frustrating because that's the definition that has been driven into the mainstream, since american hispanic people tend to use it (which is fine, as they are latino in most cases, but it doesn't refer exclusively to them lol).
Bathrobe Warrior
Well, I guess I would have the same if someone would call me European. I'd probably be like: ehm, I'm Dutch thank you very much haha. But yeah, latino has gotten a lot more negative loading to it recently
A lot of Spaniards settled in Latin America so a lot of people in Latin America are mixed. I think that is why a lot of people dont mind both terms. I have Spanish blood and indigenous blood.
Hispanic and Latino don't have anything to do with Ethnicity or Race.

He's not just on giant racist running around as you all would like to believe. He will take charge and get things done for a change. Just because he's against people breaking the law doesn't mean people should hate him! Illegal is illegal. Oops. Guess it's okay when I say it because I'm not white?

Hispanics are people who are associate as/are born in a predominantly Spanish-speaking country.
Latino/a are people who associate as/are born in Latin/Central/South America.
Spanish are people who associate as/are born in Spain.
Cuban is in the Caribbean and its people are Hispanic but not Latino/a. If you think about it Jamaica and Haiti are in the Caribbean. Would you label Jamaicans/Haitians as Latino? Likely not.
That's just my 2 cents.
I applaud u for the long paragraph mate👌
what about Puerto Rico and Dominican republic?? I've actually always been confused by this, because I'm half Mexican so either term never mattered to me lol
+Jinkun2702 Actually Spanish is just the language if you come from Spain you are a Spaniard. Latinos are from Latino-America because our languages are descendants of the latin language. Hispanic is only recognizing that we were primarily conquered by Spain.
+Chelsea Love why don't you see yourself Latina ? I'm half Chilean and quarter Spanish and my parents always taught me that i'm latina! You should be proud of it! Xx
Sofia cc oh I definitely consider myself latina, and proud!!! I meant if somebody called me Hispanic or Latino, either term never bothered me lol
Dark with curly hair, I'm Honduran and seen as a Latina by other Latinos. But in America I'm considered black ignorantly enough because of my skin color 😏
We come in all colors, all shapes and embrace all that's within our culture. For the people saying hispanics are white need to travel and read a book 📖
I thought hispanic people were those with Spanish ancestors? In which case they would be classified as "white" if their ancestors still lived in Europe so what's the difference?
Yamei Espinosa true that 🙌🙌🙌
Honduran, dark with curly hair here!😂🤚🏼
You probably are black.
Lol people say I'm white cause i have green eyes and not really tan even tho I'm half Peruvian
I get frustraded when people asume I'm from Spain because I speak spanish. No, I'm from Chile for godsake! I've bumped into very ignorant people who think "IF YOU SPEAK SPANISH YOU MUST BE FROM SPAIN".

+Margie Medina so would you call Hispanic or Latino a person who is from Spain? if your answer is no tell me why please?
+charlie lopez People from Spain are spaniard or Spanish.
You're Hispanic.
charlie lopez they would be European. Latin American species a group geographically, not culturally. That's why Brasilians are Latinos but don't speak spanish.
+katomii Spaniard that's a new term for me, but still Latino is a term used to refers to a person who speak any language which come from Latin and Spanish is one of them
My head hurts from just reading these comments ,
Same. 😅
Same I still don’t know the difference and not even google is helping me
omg can you fix that pls lmao
what about "Hispanoamericanos" or "hispanohablantes". That's what I was thought in school studying Spanish in Italy, and that's what the book said not "Latinos" . Maybe because in Europe saying Latino means from the old Latin language. (Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Romanian languages) Hmmm...
exactly!!!
+Andreea West Well, I'm pretty sure that's when you use 'hispanic'.
"Hispanohablantes" or "hispanic-speakers" are the people who speaks in spanish, and "hispanoamericano" or "hispanic-american" are the people from America who speaks spanish. By the way, when I say America I mean AMERICA, not US.
America is all the territory from the north of Canada to the south of Chile... that's right gringos, your country is not called America... well, in fact your contry doesn't have a name, I mean "United States of America" is not a name, it's a description. It means that you're a bunch of states, united by political and economical interests, located in America. See? it's not a name.
I know what you are saying and I agree with you what I don't think it's very accurate is to say "latino"... In my opinion I think it's more correct to say hispanoamericano but again maybe because it's a very long term/name it's easier to say "latino"... I don't know and I don't really care I mean it doesn't affect my life but I was just sharing my opinion I don't want to fight with anybody
+Andreea West "Latino" is more global... I mean... it's the name of all the people who speaks any language that comes from latín, and because spanish comes from latín it's ok to say "latino", and this also includes portuguese and brazilian people.
But if you're talking only about spanish speakers, then it's more accurate to say "hispano", "hispanohablante" or "hispanoamericano".
Cuban and Brazilian women are gorgeous! Their cultures are amazing! Friendly people and excellent food too 👍🏼
I'm from Argentina, and Everytime someone find out that I speak Spanish they are all like, "Are you Mexican?" 😑
I don't necessarily think it's their fault. Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world and Mexicans make up the largest Hispanic population in the US.
I'm not saying that people should know what country I'm from, I'm saying that I wish they would ask instead of just assume. Another thing I don't like is that when I say no, they are like, "oh you just know Spanish"
+Gregory Pabst It's people's ignorance to generalize and assume first but it's also stereotype in the US. That's why when Donald Trump is talking about Mexicans, all Latinos and Hispanics have to be on guard because he's talking about all of us.
+Gregory Pabst exactly, how hard is it to ask, eh?
+Gregory Pabst Yeah haha, that is pathetic generalization and plain ignorance. Yes Mexico is the largest Spanish speaking country but just because one speaks Spanish doesn't mean they are Mexican. They should try asking instead of assuming. Personally by accents I think we could figure where people are especially Spaniards and Argentinians with their accents.
What's really the difference of Hispanic and Latino anyway ? I don't get offended by being called either tbh
+Jayra Chavarria latinob= ppl from latin america/carribbean. hispanic = ppl who speak spanish. you can be both or just one. brazilians are latino but not hispanic. people from spain are hispanic but not latino.
You are a latino if you speak a lenguage that comes from latin (french, spanish or portuguese)
+DarkennedFlower perfect
+Shuky lala no. the definition of Latino is a person who has cultural ties with a latinamerican country.
+wallflower 壁の花 wait a sec I'm black but I'm from haïti which is in the Caribbean where they speak French and creole so am I technically Latino
i see it as true hispanics being those having roots in hispania (spain) meaning only the criollos (full blooded spanish descendants born in the americas) would be hispanic and since the majority of "hispanics" are not full blooded (with many not having spanish blood at all) the label is inadequate. although the latino label originates from latin speaking europeans i see it as more adequate for us modern day "latinos" because it includes everyone from or with roots in latin america regardless of race/ethnicity.
I'm Brazillian and I'm white. If someone asked my etnic identification I would say white (even tough I would die to be able to get tan skin). Most of the people on my social life are white too, and my mother's whole family is blue eyed. One of my best friends is a natural blonde with green eyes, other two have dark hair and light brown skin. If people asked where am I from, than I'd say Brazil, of South America, maybe. Why people try so hard to mix the color of people's skin with the place their mothers got in labor? I mean, if I was black and my mom had me in Japan, than I would be black and Japanese. No "black and asian". I would also be from Asia, meaning I'm asian. But not by my apearence, by a simple writing there is in my birth certificate. Do you people get what I mean? Wanna label someone, label their apearence appart of the lenguage/country/continent/ where they where born. Why don't people be their unique selves? Labels mess everything up
ethnicity is cultural though. not racal.
+Dulce Ximena In my opinion there are no races, just ethnicy. We all came from Africa sooner or later anyway, I think the term "race" feels wrong, so I don't use it. I hope that I didn't confuse you, I'm here just trying to say my opinion: If my blonde friend moved to the US and married a blonde guy, their children would be called white. If my mixed raced mostly amerindian brown skinned best friend did the same and married a white black-haired white guy and had visibly "latino" children, than they wold call my friend's children latino. But the thing is: they both where born in the same country, same city, same hospital...
+RedCatracho I don't speak english well yet, my mother language is portuguese, and I dedicated a long time to learn italian for my school, so I'm just beggining. I'm sorry
+Luisa Calsavara Well, nowadays race is usually defined as a group of people that share physical characteristics deemed by society as relevant. i.e. skin colour has been deemed relevant, but height hasn't. So by this definition races do exist. Ethnicity is about culture, it's about the environment you live in. So you can't really just be ethnically white. White people around the world live in different cultures and therefore have different ethnicities.
+Luisa Calsavara also, Latino is not a race. Some people use it to mean that, yes, but it's inaccurate. The label Latino is about culture and not about appearance. If you see the video, you'll notice that there's a pale girl in there: she's white, and she's latino too.
I always thought that if you've got Spanish ancestry you're classified as Hispanic. Regardless of what you look like, if you've got a Spanish surname and are from a Spanish speaking country i'd classify you as Hispanic.
That includes Equatorial Guinea right
Maria Ximena Otalora Cordoba I'd assume so.
I have always said hispanic instead of latino.
same here
me too, and I've noticed that it's mostly people from California that say Latino.
+Lauren Cabaza i use both terms interchangeably
+Lauren Cabaza Yeah but not all latinos are hispanic
“I identify as...” 🤦♂️
Her "I solemnly swear i'm up to no good" shirt from Harry Potter made me so happy! Lol XD
I don't get offended but I don't like people ask are you Mexican? Instead of are you Hispanic/Latina?
well Latin means people who are from a romance language speaking country or territory for example I'm from Bolivia I'm Hispanic since we speak Spanish along other native languages and we are Latin since Spanish is one of the languages in the romance group . they are not races since most people in Latin america are of mixed race , African , native American , white European and the list goes on . Summary if you are a native speaker of French , Spanish , Portuguese , Italian , Romanian you are Latin . latin americans are people from the America's who speak a romance language , Québec in Canada would be considered Latin, Haitians as well as Brazilians since they speak French and Portuguese respectively . thanks ! gracias ! Merci ! obrigado !
*Bolivians are Hispano-Americans*
Thank you! My ethnicity is Portuguese and I’ve had a very hard time figuring out what I am exactly. Really though I speak Spanish and English but I’m pretty sure I’m Latino.
I am from Romania and 60-66% of my language is Latin. Shouldn't then Romania be considered along with Spain,France ,Italy and Portugal latin countries?
The Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards are the real Latinos/Latins. These Spanish speaking Mestizo Indians from Latin America are a bunch of creepy people who don't even know what Latino means and where this great language and culture come from.
It's not that we "should be considered Latinos/Latins". We are but Latino is not our race. Latino is our language and culture and we only identify with it when in a discussion where we acknowledge out Latin heritage. " We Italians, we Romanians, etc. being of Latin culture prefer this and not that ". Along these lines. We use our Race to identify ourselves which is White or we use the countries we come from. Instead these so called Hispanics of the Americas from Latin Americans now want to be called Latinos and use this invented term as their Ethnicity and at times as their Race when Latino only refers to Language and culture which is not their language and not their culture anyway. It's all European and nothing "native".
And the US Census Bureau which has been taken over by Hispanics and other racial minorities lists Latino as an Ethnicity for Hispanics. They all want to rewrite history.

Yes, Romania is a Latin Country. Don't let the useless Red-Skin Indians from what the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called "Amerique Latine" (Latin America) confuse you. These are the Latins/Latinos: Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards and have been Latins for more than 2000 years since the Romans. "Hispanics" of the Americas are "Latin Americans" by geography of origin with no Latin culture and no Latin anything. They only speak a language, Spanish, which comes from the Latin language of the Romans and nothing else. Those scumbags don't know what the term Latino/Latino means and where it comes from.

Listen, there was nothing Latin on this continent before the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, brought it here with them with their Latin-derived languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

You cannot take the term "Latin America" and make it "Latino" and give a different meaning. Stop the lies you bunch of useless people. And I want to say something else: You are not even "Hispanics". The real Hispanics are the people of Spain and Portugal.
I feel like they are on the right track. however as a Puerto Rican/ Cuban- American I identify as both Hispanic and Latino. IMO any one who speaks a Latin language (i.e French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, ect.) are all Latino. or of Latin Decent. but hispanic is specific to those whom are hispanohablantes or grew up in a Spanish speaking country/household.

my mom and dad are mexican. my dad is from Nuevo Leon and my mom is from Guanajuato. i on the other hand was born in Houston Tx. so I identify as Mexican-American. its less complicated.
I´m Portuguese and I am Latina, because my language ( Portuguese) came from latin. Latinos are the people that speak languages that came from latin( Portuguese, Spanish, Romania, French and Italian). So European people can also be Latinos.
in fact, most italians call themselves "latinos"
so true!

Hispanic is both an adjective and a noun. There are many HISPANIC cutlures in the world. This includes places outside of Latin America including Equatorial Guinea in Africa, Philippines, and Guam (Marianas Islands). Although not popularly recognized by most as being Hispanic, their cultures are undoubtedly HISPANIC.
I say hispanic(both of my parents are mexican) for myself, but I don't really know. This video got me confused.
I am from Argentina, and eventhough I am "latina", I don't identify with that word bc, here in Argentina, we don't have the classic "latin culture" we are different, I think. So I would just call myself, hispanic.
Simplemente estás negando lo que eres, pero eso no cambia la realidad, eres latina.
For me be latino means be someone who comes from a country with a Latin language so Latin America but Italy, Spain, Portugal and France too🇪🇸🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇹
Luckas Espinosa and romania
French is not a Latin laingaue it's a romance language so France isn't included.
@@sodawimp814
Lol french is derived from latin just like Spanish/Portuguese
Depends where you're from. That's not how in Cali we define Latino
And Romania
Hispania was the Roman name for Iberia (Spain and Portugal). Folks who come from Iberia and LatAm are Hispanic. They are also Latin. French and Italians are also Latins.
FUN FACT EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Hispanic means anyone from Spanish or Portuguese descendance because Spain and Portugal are both in the Iberian peninsula previously known as Hispania during roman times, also they were once the same nation. So technically there are American Hispanics and and European Hispanics.
SO... if Hispanic meant Spanish speaking Americans, English speaking Americans would be called Britons.
well no because the name of the language is English, not British.
+Dulce Ximena the name of the language is Spanish not Hispanic ^ "it was a sarcastic end note"
but portuguese history and spanish history was once as one nation as a larger medieval spain and before that as an even larger hispania
So all the regions like Florida or California conquered by Spain are Hispanic then
+pirulin pin pon ONLY ONE that finally says the truth, seems that Roman History is not even touched by Americans, what a shame, it is really amazing and entertaining.
I just hate that people automatically think I'm Mexican when I'm white and salvadorian so I guess I'm Hispanic
And Latino
and Mexicans can't be white?
Same bro salvy ftw
Never said that I don't look white it's because I have really brown skin so they say you Mexican or are you Mexican
How
Wait, I thought most people don't like being asked what race they are. I don't ask that because I thought it wasn't ok.
well, you wouldn't be referring to race if you asked someone if they were latino or hispanic. You would just be asking about their ethnicity.
lol I don't know why people are so uppity about that, people ask my family that all the time because we're light skinned mexicans with curly hair and when they guess wrong we just laugh it off and tell them, it's just funny to us
I think people get offended when someone assumes the race they are. But if you were to ask just oh what ethnicity are you or race then than would not be offensive. Just don't say oh are you Mexican ?
Ruthie Hardin ask me anytime, i don't mind
and according to my mom i don't even look like what i am so guessing is out of the question, so you might as well ask
0:36 Hispania (the origin of Hispanic) was the roman name for Iberia, the region that encompassed what is now Portugal AND Spain.
Hispanic: From a country descendant of Spain or with links to Spain.
Portugal: Was once Spain, Portuguese: Hispanic.
Brazil: Conquered by Portugal.
Brazil: Could be referred to as Hispanic
latino: a country that speaks a language that comes from latin.
hispanic: a country related to Spain, and yes Brazil was once Spanish even though they spoke portuguese
@@QwertyUiop-bs2zr That's all wrong, some people don't know their history.
You are wrong, Portuguese people are LUSITANOS or Lusitans and not "Hispanics" the modern term "Hispanic" refers to the countries that speak Spanish.
@@QwertyUiop-bs2zr Brazil never was "Spanish" or belonged to Spain...
. Yes, Portugal was once part of Spain, and since Portugal controlled Brazil, the territory of Brazil was part of Spain, some people dont knwo their history ;)
Hispania is a area of Europe where Spain and Portugal are. Hispanic people are also Portuguese speaking people as well Spanish. If most of your family is from Spain or Portugal you are Hispanic.
Nire B it doesn't have to be most. it just has to be in your dna
Portugal was actually a small province called Lusitania, Portuguese people are Lusitans and not Hispanics...
me: *is brazilian*
me: *is also pale af*
everyone: oh so you're white
me: nOO NO NOOONO NOO NO
There are white Brazilians and black Brazilians. Obviously you're a white Brazilian.
ok people but consider this: i live in america and i speak english fluently. i look white so people just assume im from america. and im not. yes, my skin is white but im brazilian and identify as latina.
I just looked at your pictures and you don't even look white! I can tell that you are Latina. Btw, you are absolutely beautiful.
+Giuliana Mello Same here
Because you are white, Brazilian is not a race, you are a white Brazilian. Simple.
Lovely people!! I was a bit ignorant to think that Hispanics and Latino/a where equivalent. This video brings a lot of awareness :D
FYI: Hispanic also refers to people of the Iberian Peninsula. (Spain and Portugal) Not just Latin America countries
not portugal, just Spain
Melapples Nope, according to the federal government, Portuguese is considered hispanic and if a portuguese person applies for a job and writes "hispanic" the employer can't legally challenge it
Jessica Dias they don't speak Spanish. Hispanic= from a Spanish speaking country
Melapples The term hispanic comes from the word HISPANIA, which was the Roman word for the Iberian Peninsula, that being Spain AND Portugal. The assumption that hispanic refers to someone from a spanish speaking country is therefore incorrect since the term Hispania predates the Spanish language (which wasn't created until after the fall of the western Roman Empire in the fifth century AD) the term hispania had been used for hundreds of years prior to the creation of the Spanish language itself.
People from Latin America are not Hispanics. They are Latin Americans. These are the Hispanics: Spaniards and Portuguese because they come from HISPANIA which is the name that the Romans gave to what is now Spain and Portugal.
I'm Hispanic but a lot of people say I look black and I even sound black.
you probably are, latino and hispanic are not races and we can be anything, it just means we speak spanish or any latin language for latino
+Ari A. A. actually that's what Hispanic means. Latino refers to a male from Latin America
+Pouneh Vaziri So Latino/Latina means you're from Latin America regardless of what your racial or ethnic background is? For example, someone like Gisele Bundchen is Brazilian but she's of German descent. She's still a Latina? And someone like Alberto Fujimori is a Peruvian man of Japanese descent. He's Hispanic since he speaks Spanish. But he's also Latino as well since he's from Latin America? Sorry for my ignorance but I've always gotten these labels confused.
if you are from jamaica, haiti or the costa rican Caribbean coast you would be that colour
gk891 Gisele bundchen is Latina as she is Brasilian like you mentioned
Brazilian: someone born in (or originates from) Brazil (does not denote ancestry or "racial" ethnicity)
Latina: the feminine form of"latino"
Latino: someone living in (or originating from) Latin America, as the word "latino" is short for the Spanish term "latino americano."
Hispanic: a term that originally denotes one's ancestral relationship to ancient Hispania (Iberian Peninsula), chiefly used to denote one's relationship to modern-day Spain (if one is of Spaniard descent, they are Hispanic).
Cubans, Mexicans, Argentinians, Brazilians, Guyanese and Surinamese are all considered Latinos, because they're all located in Latin America.
Spaniards are not Latinos since they do not live in Latin American.
Gisele Bündchen is a Latina (by her regional ethnicity, being born and raised in Brazil). She is not Hispanic, though, since (at least, to my knowledge) doesn't have any other ancestry in her but German. She's German Brazilian, in much the same way a black American is African American or an American of Irish descent is Irish American.
And while she's by technically a Latina, the reason why she's not a "Latina" to many North Americans is because we tend to have a common sense here of thinking of "Latino/Latina" as being someone who more immediately looks like they're from Latin America.
In other words, you can look at Sofia Vergara and there can be no mistaking she's of Latin-American origin, but for ppl like Gisele Bündchen, it's much harder to tell just from looking at her that she's from Latin America.
This is where the confusion lies--many ppl aren't much aware that "latino/latina" bears no connotation of ancestral original, but regional origin.
In summary!
Latino/Latina simply denotes where the Spanish-speaking individual lives or originates from within Latin America, regardless of ancestry. It's an ethnicity of region.
Hispanic simply denotes that one has Spanish (Spaniard) roots. It's an ethnicity of ancestry.
Alberto Fujimori would be considered an Asian Hispanic.
I hope this clears things up for you!
(PS some parts were taken from Google as I searched the actual definitions for you). Let me know if you have other questions. :)
How does one identify which country you're from?
Finally a videos about latin/Hispanic people w/ a Brazilian #represent
This video kind of annoys me because you can be Latina/Latino if you are of Latin decent. Not everyone who is Latin is from Latin America. People that are from Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and even Greek (and probably a few that I can't think of at the moment) consider themselves Latina/Latino. People from Latin America are generally half Latin and half indigenous whereas people from the other countries I mentioned are more full Latin yet if they were to call themselves Latina/Latino people would tell them they are not. This concept just bothers me.
Don't be confused. Everything Latin/Latino, be it the Latin people, be it the Latin language (Lingua Latina) be it the Latin Culture (Cultura Latina) all comes from Italy and not from Spain and not from Latin America. A person from Latin America is a " Latin American".
What is the difference between Latino and Hispanic? I've been wanting to know.
Same here and I'm Mexican lol
For me latino is people from south america or "latin" america. Hispanic is the people who speak spanish. But some people have diffrent opinions on the definitions so.
You're south american.
Not latin, spanish or hispanic.
+xonneka Latinos are all people from latin America. Hispanics are all people who speak spanish including those born in Europe.
+xonneka as far as I can tell, Latino is basically anyone who originates South of the US, and Hispanic is the subset of Latino people who come from Spanish speaking countries, which are a majority of the Latino countries but not all. So a Brazilian and a Mexican are both Latino, but only the Mexican is also Hispanic. Hope that made sense!
I thought a Latin was a person born in a country whose language derives from Latin
Same!
The Latin term (adjective; Latin Latin, "that or that which is natural of the people who spoke Latin") has different meanings and is often confusing .
El término latino (adjetivo; del latín latinus, "aquél o aquello que es natural del pueblo que hablaba latín") tiene diversas acepciones y suele prestarse a confusión.
(Wikipedia)
I hate when people have one image of a typical Latinx or Hispanic person and when you say that you are this or you are that they deny you because of the way you look. I'm half Mexican and half black and I've heard people of all races tell me I'm not black or I'm not Mexican because I'm brown, or because i don't speak Spanish, or because my hair isn't straight. Latinxs/Hispanics, and African Americans come in all shades and colors, with all different types of features. Please keep this in mind before telling someone what race they are -.-
+xxTruely Hannahxx in LA you'd be called a Blaxican.
+Andres Herrera lol I'm called that here in Colorado
+xxTruely Hannahxx I'd call you a cutie, but I'm an old man and that'd be creepy.
Latinx???
don't call me Hispanic because I'm not Hispanic I'm Latino point blank period and proud if you wanna date latin women marry Latin men be apart of the latino community in any way at best you could learn the difference between the two
You may be disappointed because you don't know what Latino/Latin means. Latino means being: Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese and Spaniards. You are Latin American with no Latin culture. www.latinos-latins.online
www.mexica-movement.org
Hispanic? I dont think this people are from Hispania(Spain and Portugal) in roman times so.. latin dont, they are latin AMERICAN(like AFRICAN AMERICAN) or Hispanic American, not spanish, no hispanic and not latin.
Latins are spanish,portuguese,romanian,italians,frenchs.
Hispanics are in old times Spanish and Portuguese and in modern times only Spanish.
So dont forget the term AMERICAN, latin AMERICAN,Hispanic AMERICAN, its important, black people in America are not african really? they are african American people, this is the same.
Amén
José Andrés they are Hispanic. look up the definition
rodri vp because you know all of us right 😂😂 girl bye
Chelsea Denise not all but what I have seen isnt really good tbh... But hey some are intelligent, and the definition is wrong
Chelsea Denise Chelsea, with respect, not.
Hispanic are people from Hispania(Spain and Portugal) so dont.
In the US cant they can not appropriate terms and tell us how to use terms that are completely unknown, sorry but not.
They cant change or owns terms.
Hispania is the Iberic peninsula.
They are Hispanic AMERICAN, its not difficult to understand, like african american because african american dont be african really?
This is the same, they are not hispanic, they are hispanic american.
Thank you for making this!!! And I agree- can we do African American vs black vs African? Also, can we do he differences with Chinese groups like mandarin, Taiwanese? I think it's so important to be educated on this 😀
And later on Ryan found out that he wasnt Mexican! Moment of truth
I though the same thing!
He is Mexican. Albeit half. Mexican is more of an ethnicity than a race.
Mexican is not an ethnicity. It is a nationality like American. Hispanic and Latino are neither races or ethnicity. Latin America is made up of many different people of many different ethnic background.
+Pc Retro Finally someone who is educated
***** Mexican is for the most part an ethnicity. That is how most Mexicans view it anyway. Just because the Whites don't get to pick the label doesn't mean there isn't one.
Latino just means your language derives from latin. So technically Portuguese / Brazilian people are latin too...
I identify as Boricua. Less confusing and straight to the point, lol. :)
PokéCenter I know what it means. I also know the difference between Latino and Hispanic so you're preaching to the choir. I say I'm Boricua to avoid the inevitable follow up question when I say I'm Latina/Hispanic "So are you Mexican? Dominican?" etc. Hence why I'm straight to the point when it comes to my identity.
PokéCenter I just don't feel like answering 21 questions on my identity. Especially from non Hispanic/Latinx ignorant Americans that think every Latinx/Hispanic is Mexican. It gets tiresome.
PokéCenter Assumptions and lacking reading comprehension, am I right? But, by all means, continue grasping for straws.
Unless its in context with a conversation or something of that nature, I've never felt comfortable asking people what their ethnicity is. I don't know, I guess I just feel like there isn't any reason that I need to know that. Great vid!

Alll Hispanics are latinos, but not all latinos are hispanic, as simple as that. Oh, and by the way, there are european latinos too...
hispanic includes people from spain though.
Hispanics of the Americas are not culturally Latins. They only speak a Latin-derived language ,Spanish. That's all. This is why the European Latin colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called that area "Latin America" because of their Latin languages.
off course many are spanish , portuguese and italian , southern european lel
latino came from latin language from roman empire
I am from Brazil and I do not consider myself even latino. I don't believe that there is a Latin America in fact, it is just an empty concept with no clear meaning. The Latino identity is something that belong to immigrants living in the USA. When spanish-speaking people immigrate to United States they creat this sense of community, but this sense does not exist when they are in their countries of origin.
I just consider myself brazilian and a recent research discovered that the majority of brazilians do not call themselves latinos, but only brazilians.
You have no Latino identity. You are "Latin Americans" by geography only and the term Latino refers only to language and culture, the language spoken by the Romans and their Latin culture and it doesn't have anything to do with Spanish-speaking Mestizo-Red-Skin Indians. It's all Italian heritage and nothing "native".
www.mexica-movement.org
Latin America was named this wat by the Latin European Colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards. The reason was because their languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, are Latin derived languages and the Latin language comes from Italy. That's all.
It's called Latin America because the Latin European Colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, spoke languages derived from the Latin language of the Romans, French, Portuguese and Spanish. Also because they wanted to make a distinction between the Northern Anglo-Saxon, English Speaking, Protestant America and their Latin speaking, Catholic America. So they called it Latin America.
I also do not like the Latin term most Brazilians do not like,
we know the origin of the Latin term,
the problem is that we do not like Americans to be calling us '' Latinos '' we prefer that we call Brazilian, our country is huge, compared to other Latin countries.
@@hilariovasquez1534 Brazil is the country with the most white people in Latin America. and the 3 world behind the USA and Russia, with the White population: 91 million.
I'm from Spain, i know I'm hispanic. I still always get called latina which i know I'm not because all of my background comes from Spain, so wouldn't that make me white? I actually tell people i am white but i still get labeled as latina.
+Chloe Ramìrez-Alvarez You're right you're not Latina I'm Dominican and I'm Hispanic & Latino, i just think because alot of people really Don't know the difference
I know exactly how you feel, while I have Spanish and Chilean heritage, and technically count as both, people don't understand its possible to be both Hispanic and/or Latino/a and be a different race at the same time.
Yes, you are white. Don't spaniards consider themselves white in Spain?
Latino/a = Latin
Latin = someone from a country speaking a language developed from Latin
Latin Americans are technically white too, since they have a lot of Spanish blood. Without the Spanish blood, they wouldn’t be Latinos.
(3 years late)
USA people is so ignorant -.-
Exist a place in Italia called Latina, so exist latinos who are Europeans too and even if they don't speak Spanish brazilians are Latins too, Latino/a is a person who born in a country where the main lenguage comes from Latin (who born in Europe). Hispanic is someone who with some kind of Spanish ascendens that wrongs alot during Spanish colony time in America but, nothing is more offensive for a member of a ethnic who call him Hispanic.
I don't think who someone on this video is Latin or Hispanic, but I understand why they wanna be considereded in that way, USA have not a cultural root, and they are looking for that, how is even possible say who you say you say are 4 different kinds of as dense
I’m not a fan of this “I identify as...”. Where you’re from is written in your DNA, it’s factual, it’s not something you choose to “belong to”.
My parents are both from Mexico and I was born in the U.S. I identify myself with Hispanic, Latina, Chicana, and Mexican-American. But I also label myself as a Mestiza, my father has deeper roots with the Native American people of Mexico (Aztec descendants), while my mother has more European roots. So Mestiza would be the most adequate self-identification for me.
Hispanic for the people who born in Latinoamerica is more like people from Spain....
To clarify and sum it up all the countries in Latin America are both Hispanic and Latino, except for Brazil which is only Latino and not Hispanic.
What about Haiti? I consider it part of Latin America
+Maria Ximena Otalora Cordoba Yes, they speak French and French is a language derived from Latin. For example, Curacao is in South-America, but is not part of Latin-America, because they speak Dutch and Dutch is not a Latin language
+Nivaldo Sartori Haiti, Belize, Guyanas, Jamaica..
+OFAN Jamaica aren't an latin american country, they speak English! Like USA they are Anglo-Americans!
OFAN Haiti is French/African, Belize is English/African. The Guyanas are African/Mix with elements English, French and Dutch.
Latino/a= Refers to languages descended from Latin. Thus the Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian etc..)
Hispanic= People from Spanish speaking countries with historic ties to Spain
Very Simple...
perfect awesome video, super helpful.. up to 2:33 ("What are you?")... gotta redo that, please, or put some text over it to give a better question for learning about people's backgrounds... "Where's your family from?" or "What's your ethnicity?" or something, anything... just not that. Makes me wanna answer: "Human."

I'm just saying that I don't consider myself Latina, that's all
+Vitoria Bruno Well according to the Porn I see Brazilians are Latinos.............
If I don't consider myself a human anymore, I'm not gonna change into a dog, I'm still gonna be a human. The same applies for us when it comes to being Latino(a).
Latino=being from a country that speaks a language that comes from Latin ex: French,Italian,Spanish, Portuguese
the term Hispanic was created in the 1970s by a racist person working in the united states census bureau :)
The girl's shirt says I solemnly swear I'm up to no good!!! I'm dead😋👏🏽
My conservative politically incorrect History teacher thinks Filipinos are Hispanic. What are your thoughts?

+Christopher Benson Im Mexican and I love Filipinos they're like brothers
Latino = (France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Romania and some European microstates)

Standing there like 😁😁😁😁😬😬
YES
Odalyz Montes I guess they don't believe in light skin Hispanics then
Latin: European that speak any language coming from latin.
Latin American: Any one that speak any language that comes from latin like French, Italian or Spanish
Hispanic: someone that speak spanish
I was kind of fuzzy between when I should and shouldn't say Hispanic. Now I know the Latino is a more inclusive term. Great video on a topic I think needed to be talked about!
Ahahah they all latin-americans! We, Europeans, from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Romania are the true latinos...
lot of us are mixed latinos, i have indigenous geritage and spanish.
So... you are mixed race, not latino...
well, so most portuguese are mixed too, black and arabs.
you just need to see them.
Ok you don't have it. You are just an ignorante.
Latino is people from Latin America and Hispanic is from the Iberian Peninsula, known as hispania by the Romans
Finally someone with some knowledge!!!
People from Latin American are Latin Americans. They are mostly Indians so why they want to identify with a Roman Latin heritage? The Latin is not native of this continent. It came from Europe.
Do you know how to read? I told who the people from Latin America are. People from Latin America are "Latin Americans". This is the way the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called that area of this continent. The reason why they called it Latin America is because their languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, come from the Latin Language of the Romans. Latino means something else and doesn't have anything to do with the Hispanics of the Americas. "Latino" or Lingua Latina, was the language spoken by the Romans and their Latin culture. The term "Latino" refers only to language and culture and not the way the Hispanic here in the Americas want to interpret it. It's not their linguistic and cultural heritage. Is the heritage of the Italians and of the Latin Europeans: French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards.
www.latino-latins.online
www.mexica-movement.org
@Random Luck You are the lazy fool and ignorant like all the Hispanics. Hispania was the name given by the Romans to what is now Spain and Portugal. The Romans colonized that area and remained there for close to 700 years. They imposed their Latin language (Lingua Latina) Roman Laws and Christianity upon the local people then when the Spaniards, the Portuguese and the French in modern times came to what is now the "Americas" to colonize they imposed their Latin derived languages (French, Portuguese and Spanish) upon to local indigenous population. They also imposed their Roman-derived Laws and Christianity. Stop the lies. You the Hispanics are a bunch of ignorant who have no identity but want to make up one.
@Random Luck The Romans did not impose "Hispanic Language". True and "Hispanic" comes from Hispania, in Europe. Spanish-speaking people of the Americas have a connection with "Hispania". cultural and in many instances genetic. Mestizo. It's up to them as descendants of Spaniards and Portuguese if they want to identify themselves as "Hispanics". Apparently, they don't want to identify with Europe so they should drop the term "Hispanic" and more so should drop the term :"Latino" as they are not Romans or descendants of the Romans.Latino/Latin refers only to the language spoken by the Romans and their culture.
Latino : A person who is a native speaker of a Romance language
Hispanic: Someone from\originating from Spain \ speaks Spanish as their native tounge
I'm half Argentinian half American, so I know English and Spanish. My aunt is from Brazil, and she can speak Portuguese and English. We always compare words and try to each each other things! It's crazy how similar words are. I never knew any Portuguese before I met her in 2010.
Hispanic: Spanish-speaking/from a Spanish-speaking country
Latino: from Latin America
In Brazil they speak Portuguese, which makes Brazilians Latino but not Hispanic. In Spain, they speak Spanish but are not from Latin America, which makes the Spanish/Spaniards Hispanic but not Latino. Surprised you guys didn't learn that in school.
No.
In fact spanish, italians, portuguese... are latinos too because our language comes from latin and hispanic are the ones whose language is spanish (spain and latin america except brazil)
I'm not Latino or Hispanic I'm mexican or chicano or mexican American
Dis Foo nope mexican america isnt a thing unless you were born in Mexico and came to America
THEBackpack 10 I’m Mexican American and Latino people who are from Mexico and came to America are just Mexicans on the other hand people who have parents that are Mexican but that person was born in America than you are Latino American and Mexican American
Naomi Duran no you were born in america meaning your nationality is anerican your ethnicity is Latino/hispanic and most likely your race is white
Naomi Duran that’s is actually not true, if someone who was born in mexico or any other country and for some reason has American citizenship, they are Mexican Americans or whatever they identify themselves, my uncle was born in cuba and he has American citizenship, so he is a cuban american
Dis Foo
Good for you
latino doesnt inclued spain but hispanic does

*Latins were an Indo-European tribe that settled what is today Italy, Let us not forget that the Iberian Peninsulas was settled by Romans, Phoecians, Celtic tribes, Germanic tribes, Moors, Jews, the Romans had a Hellianic culture (Greek) .

I like the music playing in the background. I learned a lot from this video. I wonder whats the song called playing in the background?
just STOP! and start refer to yourselves as Americans and for once be proud of it
But the left needs every one to segregate themselves so they can divide and conquer, play each invented race against each other. And the left especially needs to convince Spanish speaking Americans that they are not white, since they need them to be oppressed minorities so they'll vote Democrat. Even though most of them are white, while rest are black, mestizo, zambo, mulatoo or indegenous.
If you live in the US, you identify as American. If you live in Ste Martin or Guadeloupe, you identify as French. If you live in Aruba or Curaçao, you identify as Dutch.

Miami has a lot of Puerto Ricans as well as Cubans. About 6 to 700 thousand PRs to about 1.2 million Cubans.
I think it's up to the individual, and whether or not they identify as Hispanic, Latino, both, or neither.
