Latino vs Hispanic, thoughts?

I always preferred Hispanic since Latino seemed imprecise (e.g. technically French Canadian could be considered Latino).

Interesting thought B1, I was actually born in the US and grew up in an area with a heavy concentrations of Hispanics. Yet I always considered myself different, until I got to college. In college I was drawn to the "Latin community” - it’s where I felt most comfortable. I attended some Hispanic professional conferences throughout college and I remember a friend convincing me I was Latino. I disagreed until the end of the conference. It was a convo that really marked our friendship and we still talk about to this day. It helped shaped the way I view myself and those around me. Although Hispanics are Spanish speaking - a lot of us Latino (Brazilian, Haitian, Caribbeans, South Americans) identify more with Hispanics then other groups.

They’re different but to most Americans they’re interchangeable. I think Latino has more political implications with it the way it’s used in the US and Hispanic is more of a neutral term.

When it comes to Brazilians something interesting I found quando morei no brasil por um ano is that the vast majority I interacted with in a university setting don’t immediately necessarily think of themselves as Latino. They would say Brazilian first and then come around to the idea of being Latino too. This was always one of my fav conversations to have with folks I met :)

Brown guy here who speaks Spanish. Who cares?!?!?!? I know you’re referring to me. It also tells me you don’t know the difference between a pupusa and an arepa. You uncultured turd.

P1 who are you referring to?
