[QUOTE]Originally posted by africurious: [QB] djehuti said: [QUOTE]I understand that. "Hispanic" by definition is anyone who is a native speaker of Spanish. "Latino" is an even broader classification defining speakers of Romance languages in general in America including both Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), and even French (Haitians, Guinanans, etc.).[/QUOTE]Hispanic doesn't go by your native language. It's always been associated with country of origin. All those countries speak spanish, but not all countries with spanish as offical language are considered hispanic; ex: filipinos (when many of them spoke spanish) and equatorial guineans wouldn't be considered hispanic. Hispanic was always associated with spanish speaking central and south america and caribbean, and spain even. See below link from pew hispanic center on the use of the term "hispanic": http://www.pewhispanic.org/2009/05/28/whos-hispanic/ According to the pew center, hispanics identified racially as below (prob taken from 2000 census): [QUOTE]54% of all Hispanics in the U.S. self-identify as white, 1.5% self-identify as black, 40% do not identify with any race and 3.8% identify as being two or more races.[/QUOTE]"Latino" doesn't refer to speakers of romance languages because it is a term spanish-speaking ppl from central/south/caribbean america use to refer to themselves. Some brazilians may identify as latino too. But the term isn't linked to the romance languages. [/QB][/QUOTE]
