Racial Makeup United States
Hispanic is not a race …?
Do you think it is? To me Hispanic means that people whose families came from Spain, Latino means that people from Latin America or just people who speak Spanish in general. I am from Scandinavia and I know that the Spaniards are white, I've been there several times for vacation. In the U.S. there is a racial category "Hispanic" ridiculous. A language is in some so become a genetic marker someones. Just because I can speak Japanese does not make me Asia, and it would be arrogant of me to think so. America may being too politically correct, so much so that it is not culturally correct. Julius Caesar (Roman emperor) was a Latin Europe is no people .. Aztec Spanish speakers come all the colors, just like English. Hispanics are persons whose family is from the Latin province of Hispania (Spain)
Well, according to the dictionary right. Although often used interchangeably in American English, Hispanic and Latin American are not identical terms, and in certain contexts the choice between them can be significant. Hispanic, from the Latin word for "Spain" has the broader reference, encompassing all Spanish-speaking people potentially in both hemispheres and emphasizing the common denominator of language among communities that sometimes have little in common. Latino in Spanish means "Latin" but which, as an English word is probably a shortening of the Latin word americano refers Spanish more exclusively to persons or communities of Latin American origin. Of the two, only Hispanic can be used in referring to Spain and its history and culture, a native of Spain residing in the United States is a Hispanic, not Latino and can not be substituted in the expression Latino the Hispanic influence on native cultures of Mexico without garbling the meaning.
