What does Latino or Hispanic mean? Who does it refer to?
Well, here's a definition of Hispanic from Wikipedia:
Hispanic, as used in the United States, is one of several terms used to categorize persons whose ancestry hails either from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, or the original settlers of the traditionally Spanish-held Southwestern United States. The term is used as a broad form of classification in the U.S. census, local and federal employment, and numerous business market researches.

So it refers more to language than color of skin or country of origin, is that right?
