Best Answer

Latina (the feminine of Latino) means a woman of Latin-American or non-European Spanish-speaking descent, and typically refers to people from Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Central- and most South-American countries (Brazilians are descendants of Portugal, not Spain).

Sonia Sotomayor is a Bronx-born American whose parents were from Puerto Rico.

Latina/Latino and Hispanic are not intended as derogatory terms.
