Spaniards of Spain are Spaniards. People from Latin America are not.

Hispanic people are a mix of several ethnic backgrounds, including European, American Indian, and African.

Don't worry about.  Besides, American is a nationality where Hispanic refers more to an ethnic back ground or race.  They are two completely different categories.  Considering yourself as both is correct.

There are different types of hispanic dance. \nFor puerto ricans  and cubans there is the salsa and merengue. For Mexicans there is the cumbia and vueltas.\nFor the Spaniards there is the flamenco. For Mexicans from Mexico city there is the ballet folklorico, mexican hat dance, and tapatillo. \nThese are just a few of hispanic dances that I know about. I don't think they affect the world but maybe they influence other dances.

Not in the traditional way, that is, the way it is harnessed in the Hispanic countries, since the environment plays a major role, what works in the hispanic communities may not work as equally effective in an anglo community and alas it is not working in the hispanic communities the way it used to. The decadence is a sign of the times we are becoming more and more decadent and permissive. The challanges which Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans are being faced with, puts them in disadvantage, it doesn't matter how hard they prove to be worthy of the country the live in, it seems no enough.\nLook at the tv programming, what are they (tv) teaching the children? Look at Cristina (Cretina) and company. After what are we modeling the young? what are we teaching, and learning. It is true that family is a relatively valid strength in the latino community, to enforce this strenght in the USA to work as it did in latin america countries first it has to be restored as a value in the same latin american countries where it is no longer a working value either. One must remember what Mao did in the Cultural revolution in China, he confronted children with parents and everybody against everybody.

why are hispanics different from immigrants from other countries.  there are laws and procedures to follow and they apply to everyone, plus hispanics don't want to adopt our language or our culture-if theirs is so great why do they want to come here.  let's face it mexico is a third world country, is politcally corrupt and is racist against indians and blacks, and prejudiced against what they consider lower classes

Lack of Education - Possible. People might think Mexicans rule the Hispanic world!\n\nDescrimination - Again, possible. There are some pretty bad rumors out there about Mexicans.\n\nGeneralization - A lot of Hispanics I know are Mexican. Maybe they assumed most every Hispanic person is Mexican.

The ethniticity can vary from country to country in places like Mexico, Central America and South America.  A frind of mine is from Argentina and she told me that many people who live there are either of Polish or Italian descent.  Etniticity many times depends on who the original occupiers were.  Spain as an example, had a lot of influence, Portugal did too, throughout South and Central America and Mexico.  As a result most natives have Spanish and or Potugese blood.  Mexicans have a Indian and Spanish blood line and probably most of the people from that part of the world do, as well.  You are right about blacks, but I can't  answer your question on how they came about in this region. I'm sure that question will be answered soon.  This medium has an incredible following along with some extremely intelligent responders.

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 think most filipinos think negative about spaniards & spain due to i the colonization era but i think its time to move on and appreciate the cultural heritage left by spain.\n\n\nspain & philippines share a lot of cultural similarities especially the roman catholic tradition, fiestas etc.\n\ni wish spanish was not abolished by the govenrment if it was not abolished then presently that is the 3rd official language of the country.

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.

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.

Personally, I think the entire Hispanic label is sort of misleading. So many Americans think that the Hispanic people are a race, their not. They're like a group of people who share a language and that's about it. A Mexican has more in common with a Guatemalan then they do with Dominicans. Cubans have more in common with Puerto Ricans then they do Argentinans. Since you're Brazilian would you be Hispanic? That's hard, since "Hispanics" are people from Spanish-speaking countries. I have Brazilian friends, though, who mark themselves as Hispanics because they say they have more in common with Latin Americans then they do Americans. Whatever the USA tries to label you, remember that what you think you are is what really matters!

I just don't know if you are referring Latinos as a whole or to an specific group. I know that must people that were born south of the USA, may speak the same way because after all Spanish is their native tongue, so when they move to speak English they may have sort of similar accent. Let me tell you something, not all "Latinos" are the same, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans are very different to the rest of Latinamerica.  You don't say to an Irish he is British or to a Canadian he is American or to a Basque he is Spanish. Culture shouldn't be an excuse to do something wrong, when you are allowed into another country you should learn their customs and traditions. To say that because of my culture i do this or that, is just a lame excuse to avoid responsibility.

Well let's see. Hmm- the Hispanic population is growing by leaps and bounds, so that's one. We seem to have many people from India coming over as well as many from Asia. There you go- that's 3.
