"Hispanic" used to mean a descendant of the Spanish conquistadors. After that was seen as being bad guy, it was changed to someone who grew up in a Spanish-speaking area. Personally, I think we should use the term "Hispanic" as descendant of the conquistadors if the left is going to keep blaming today's white folks for slavery (the conquistadors brought probably 10 times as many black slaves to America as the English did).

"Latino" means someone born or raised in Latin America, defined as the places in America where the main language is one of the Romance languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese). Technically, French speaking Canadians are as Latino as Spanish speaking Mexicans or Puerto Ricans.

A hipanic is from Hesperia, Spain.

A latino is someone who has ancestors that were from latin America.

I received this from a Latino friend who was born in Mexico and is a citizen of the U.S.
