This has come up more times than I can imagine, but a rule of thumb- if someone says they’re Spanish, it means they’re from Spain. A Latin American does not identify as Spanish, but from their respective countries, unless they are in fact referring to Spain. Just like someone who’s English is from England. It’s funny how I have to say “Spanish from Spain” every time I meet someone new.

Some of the confusion is likely because culturally and linguistically, many people living on the Eastern seaboard of the U.S., particularly in New York, refer to anyone with any kind of Latin ancestry as “Spanish.” I.E., “Spanish Harlem.”

While someone on the West Coast will look at someone and say, “That Chicana,” or “That Puerto Rican guy,” a New Yorker will look at the same person and say, “That Spanish girl,” or “That Spanish guy.” It’s a regional quirk.

grew up in Brooklyn and we definitely called them Spanish, not Hispanic...

For example, the Puerto Rican and Dominican steam tables were all "Spanish food"

Soy español, con que país quieres confundirme?

When one says “Hispanic”, it indicates originating from a Spanish speaking country or heritage- correct? It is the same for “Latino” - right?
