Not quite. People who speak Spanish are usually known as Hispanic. These include people from Spain as well as those who come from Latin America and also speak Spanish (i.e. Mexicans, Argentinians, Peruvians). Latino is the usual term for all Latin Americans, including those who do not speak Spanish (i.e. Brazilians, Haitians).

Yes, being Hispanic falls under the broader category of being Latino. Hispanic refers to individuals from Spanish-speaking countries, whereas Latino refers to individuals from Latin American countries. Some people may use the terms interchangeably, even though they have different origins.

What is the difference between hispanic and Latino?

Latino and Hispaniccategorical definitions are CULTURAL distinctions NOT RACIAL categories. Boricuadirectly refers to Puerto Rican Native Indians. They were Spain-dominated and assimilated by Spain (but not given Spanish citizenship). They were an indigenous Puerto Rican people. It is a RACIAL category. Latino- This is an individual whose cultural heritage is of Latin descent (Roman-conquered). France, Brazil and Portugal born individuals are Latino but not Hispanic, (They were conquered by Rome, not Spain). The term "Latino" is often used by individuals as a distinction to "Hispanic" by those NOT Native born in a country which is of Spanish-speaking culture (France, Brazil, Portugal, United States, Europe, etc...). Many Spanish surnamed United States citizens commonly fall into this category; (though they often refer to themselves as "Puerto Rican-American," "Mexican-American," "Cuban-American," etc…). Some Latinos are Hispanics, many Hispanics are not Latino. Hispanic- This is an individual whom is Native born to a Spain-conquered country and therefore derive from a Spanish-speaking culture. Some of these individuals call themselves "Latino" rather than Hispanic; though incorrect, they typically argue they are of "Latino" heritage because their heritage arises from Spain whom was a Roman-conquered country. Some Hispanics are Latino, but not all Latinos are Hispanic. Anglo of Latino or Hispanic descent- Is an individual whom has a Spanish Surname but was not born in a Spain or Roman-conquered country. They have adopted Anglo (or non Spanish- oriented) ways and are only of Spanish-oriented or partial Spanish-oriented heritage but commonly do not speak the Spanish language and do not significantly follow the customs of the culture. Many Anglos are of Latino or Hispanic descent, some Anglos and some Anglos of Latino or Hispanic descent can become an accepted Hispanic or Latino by adopting the culture, becoming functional in the language and overall functioning in the culture. No Anglo (by very definition) can become a Boricua. *BORICUA* - THIS IS A RACIAL CATEGORY, IT REFERS TO AN INDIVIDUAL OF PUERTO RICAN-NATIVE INDIAN DESCENT; an individual that is of Taino descent. A Taino is an Indian tribe which was native to Puerto-Rico; the Taino tribe island residents were referred to as "Boricuas." Concomitantly, the island of the Borinquen, now known as "Puerto Rico" was renamed by the Spanish conquistadors Spanish conquistadors after being "discovered" by Spain, (specifically by Cristoba Colon
