I would say Hispanic anything relating to Spain\nand Latin referring to all countries in Central and South America, which of course, also had their start with Spain to some degree.

No - Latino refers to Latin Americans (Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries in the Americas). The French speak a Latin-derived language too but they're not Latino

Mexicans are Americans. We are all the same.

I'd say that the majority are mestizo.  The rest are probably mostly of spanish descent with a small amount of other nationalities that have migrated there through the years.

Mexicans have different types of food. Some of their food is popular in the United States! Such as tacos, salsa, and borritos. Some other foods they have are: Comida Corrida, Chilles, Enchiladas (tortillas), and Frijoles (Beans).\n\nOn January 1st they celebrate Nuevo Ano, which is New Years day. On Feb. 24 they celebrate Dia de la Bandera which is Flag Day. May first they have Primero de Mayo which is Labour day, May 10th is Dia de la Madre (Mothers day), Sept. 16th Dia de la Independencia (Independance day), October 12   Día de la Raza (Columbus day), and our favorite December 24th Navidad which is Christmas.\n\n[Those are just some of the holidays they celebrate]\n\nFor any other information on this you can go to the sites under my sources.

I can see why you might have difficulties with this one. Let me break it down for you.\n\n1. First of all, YOU have to visit a Mexican community. Mexicans are Spanish-speaking people who come from a country called Mexico, which is located immediately south of the USA. When they live together as a group of families in the USA, these areas can be called Mexican communities. You only need to visit one of these communities.\n\n2. When you are there, you have to write down what you see around you. Put down in writing what the people are doing, how they live, how they relax, what they wear and so on.\n\n3. After finishing stage 2., you are required to state what were the features of the community that most pleased you. You can notice if you like some thing, because normally it will make you smile.

American.\n\nIf you want to be called Mexican-American, it is up to you, but my family isn't going to start calling ourselves 'German-American'.  We are just Americans.

Mexicans seem to be alone and excluded from the Hispanic race. I'm not going to lie I'm Puerto Rican and people in my family and some of our other Hispanic friends don’t see Mexicans as the same. I don’t know why they’re so discriminated against by other Hispanics. I have Mexican friends who will never admit to anyone what they are. It’s very sad. Hispanics can tell the difference but you can’t expect others to. Can you tell the difference between an African-Americans and Africans? Probably not. Can you tell the difference between Asians? Probably not. Same thing.

hispanic: people that comes from a contry that speaks spanish.\n\nlatino or latin: decendents from the acient rome, people from latin america, spain, italy, portugal, france.\n\nlatin america was funded by spaniards and some part by portugal, so thats why we are call latins because of them.\n\nbrazilians are latins but no hispanic.

Latino refers loosely to any person having Latin American background and living in the U.S.  \n\nHispanic refers to persons whose ancestry hails either from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, or the original settlers of the traditionally Spanish-held Southwestern United States. There are those that do not like this term and find it offensive, thus they use a different label such as Latino or Puerto Rican or other such term. \n\nSpanish usually means anyone who is of Spanish heritage regardless of the country or region. \n\nSo, a person from Spain can be Spanish or Hispanic, but NOT Latino. A Puerto Rican is Hispanic or Spanish, but usually takes offense to Latino eve though they are from a Latin speaking country. \n\nI hope this helps.

Hispanic is a term created by the U.S. federal government in the early 1970s in an attempt to provide a common denominator to a large, but diverse, population with connection to the Spanish language or culture from a Spanish-speaking country. \n\nLatinos;an American whose first language is Spanish\n\n   HISPANIC derives from the mostly white Iberian Peninsula that includes Spain and Portugal (Spain and Portugal are located in Europe).  \n        LATINO derives from the brown indigenous people of the Americas (Mexico, Central America, and South America). Mexico and most nations in Central and South Americas speak Spanish because they were once colonies of Spain.  \n        A large number of the population in the U.S. got used to hearing the term Hispanic mainly because the term was added to the census questionnaire in 1970, and, in turn, the term has not only been appearing on the census forms, but also on federal, state, and municipal applications for employment, school enrollment, and government assistance.  \n        The term Latino has, however, begun to be recognized by many people in the U.S. due to the large number of immigrants from Latin America currently living in the U.S.. It is worth noting that immigration from Latin America has considerably increased since 1980. Latin America consists of Mexico, Cuba, the Central American nations, and the South American nations.  \n        The terms, Hispanic and Latino, have been used interchangeably for several years, but there are many immigrants from Mexico and Central American nations who resent the interchangeable use of the terms. Meanwhile, the Hispanic community and the Latino community together represent a diverse group of individuals who share many things in common such as language, religion, and customs.  \n        On the other hand, the disagreement over the proper use of the terms has unfortunately been blown out of proportion. The bottom line is that the Hispanic/Latino community in the U.S. has been facing high unemployment, a skyrocketing high school dropout rate, and widespread opposition to immigrants. In addition, many people of Hispanic/Latino ancestry have been treated like second-class citizens.  \n        This is not the time for Hispanics and Latinos to waste time over terminology. Instead, this is the time for the Hispanic/Latino population, who has become the largest minority group and the fastest growing market in the U.S., to live up to its greatness and importance.

I would say Brazil but they speak Portugese and the definition of Hispanic is that which is of or related to the spanish language, so my next vote would be Cuba or Haiti. (Cuba's bigger, so that's my final answer.)
