What's the Difference Between Latino and Hispanic?

- What's the difference between the terms 'Latino' and 'Hispanic? Most people use these words interchangeably, but there is actually a difference. I try to tackle this difficult and complex topic, but looking at the origin and different uses of the words.
I also attempt to define where actually Latin America is. Something that, like so many things, does not have a clear definition.

Remember, not all people that speak Spanish are Mexican😤
True
Yuss
All are Mexicans, entire South America is Mexico, very simple.
@isa That's a fact, all look the same, there is no single difference, South America is Mexico with insignificant nicknames.
@isa I'm just saying that even black people or Asians look different despite of the Cross-race effect phenomena, at least one can differentiate them from each other far easier, but Mexicans and the secondary Mexicans in the southern hemisphere look like clones from a laboratory.
as a brazilian no one here talks about being latino everyone forgets that fact idk why usa people is obsessed with this word
They created a racial category for people from north to south America and called it latino.They did that because most of are mixed with native even there are who are pure European.In the census,there is white latino or non white latino.
@@bigm7886 Tbh that's such a racist conception for a country that tries to fight racism. It takes aways national particularities and puts every Latin-American country in the same bag. It also puts skin color in a central place while it should only be a secondary thing
@@sunb5738 Agree with you.This just show you,the mindset of this country.
@@sunb5738 The population of the United States is large and diverse. Cataloguing such a population takes time and effort. Trying to be as general as possible without becoming too caught up with particularities that sacrifice efficiency is the main goal of any person trying to estimate populations. The goal is not to gloss over the differences of Latin America but to generalize it enough to be efficient without offending the populations. Also, skin color can never play a secondary role when it is the very basis that people are oppressed. You can quit giving skin color a role but that won’t stop social issues that make skin color an issue. This very cataloguing is yet another way the country tries to fight against racism as you mentioned.
Eu odeio essa porra de "latino". Pra começar que nos EUA eles acham que "latino" é uma raça. E depois que o próprio nome está errado, deveria ser "latinoamericano", não "latino".
As a Brasilian, I am grateful that this video is made. In US schools some teachers ( well just one) would say I was Hispanic. After correcting said teacher, she said that she would reprimand me for lying in front of the class. I gave her condensed version the info as in this video.
You know why....I couldn't believe it when the government said that all Mexican and Spanish speaking people will now be called Hispanic....I was shocked. No wonder everyone is confused😳
That teacher sounds so ignorant! And not just because she didn't know, but because she accused a child of lying about their own heritage. Like she knows better than the person describing their own culture! Ugh, the condescension! 😖
@@deenaprice1524 I wasn't mad either, but I was like wtf, we don't even speak spanish, thats a very important part to be considered hispanic lol
The problem is this video is inaccurate in its origins and history. It really only covers Latinoamericano identity. Not global Latino culture as a whole.
@Matrixnukum which equates to you having a majority Iberian ancestry. Spanish descent.
Yes, Haitians are Latino from the Hispaniola island, sharing the island with the very Spanish Dominican Republic. We speak Créole, French, and Spanish. Coming to America this concept has always been wild to ppl when they ask me why I speak Spanish as a Haitian and I don't understand why that's so hard to grasp

The term Latino actually tells you more about the people who invented it than about the people who it is describing.
The term "latino" was invented by a Napoleon III general while trying to convince Mexican population to accept the austrian archduke Ferdinand Maximilian von Habsburg-Lothringen as the new emperor of the Second Mexican Empire after the french occupation of the country in 1863.
Blame Frank del Olmo. He chose this term to identify the Ethnicity of all the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas. Frank del Olmo had no idea that Latino is not the same as Latin American and that saying Latino instead of Latin is totally incorrect in English.
In English the correct way is LATIN singular and LATINS plural, masculine and feminine. And by the way the French did not use the term "Latino". They named that part of what is now Americas Amerique Latine (Latin America).
You have hit the nail on the head. In Spain the custom is to talk about Mexicanos, Peruanos, Chilenos, Argentinos, Cubanos, Colombianos, Venezolanos, Ecuatorianos, Brasileños, etc, which is how the nationals of México, Perú, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brasil, etc. call themselves. Putting people from so diverse countries under such a confusing and, not very deep down, derogatory label seems to me to be offensive. Many people from these countries who decided to come to live and work with us have obtained, without losing their own, Spanish nationality and I’m proud that they have chosen to be Spanish citizens.
But I mean hey! It isn't latinx, right?
@@JoaoCABJ yeah I know, I'm Latin american so I hate that word
Thank you for clearing this up because I knew this for a long time but never had back up.
Americans are obsessed with redefining people and places around the world but have no clue about global demography and geography (most of them).
Fabrice Izzo as in the US? Or the continent?
Tremendous Taneja0gamer white United States 🇺🇸 habitants
True but the US is a big country with a large population so most people don’t even know enough about the country itself let alone the rest of the world. Also economically it is a rich country so that can inhibit curiosity. British were the same or other colonial power of the past. They went out to colonize and destroy cultures with little regard or interest in knowing those places.
Says the racist hypocrite.
I am an American, and I find my fellow Americans to be annoying, ignorant of geography and world history unless it's strictly through the American lens. Even then, they are not that well versed in it!
Many folks, particularly Millenial (a generation I am part of) will get bent out of shape if someone wants to look at things through the eyes of Germans or Japanese during the mid-twentieth century. Hell, I've been accused of being a Nazi, despite my last name, just because I want to know what former enemies thought as coming from them.
And, for the record, the United Staes of America is a Republic.

During my childhood days in New Mexico people's ethnic identity was generalized as Anglo, Spanish, or Indian, and to a lesser degree the generalized Anglo was broken down to Italian, German, Polish, and etc. Indigenous people were referred to by which Pueblo they came from, or other tribal affiliation, e.g. Navajo. It became more confusing by the 1970s, however. This video adds some clarity to what I have intuitively come to know over the last 50 years, or so.
strange, since "Anglo" refers to England in the first place
@@haydenariasyeah why would Italy be included
Latino/a came from Italian. Not Spanish originally and was first used to describe ROMAN ITALIANS AT THAT TIME latino americano came centuries later to divide North Americans and southern Americans but is not a legit debate. Anyone who speaks a Latin language is automatically Latino irrespective of race
México pertenece al norte de América y aún así se le considera un país latinoamericano por tener una lengua romance como idioma oficial.
As a Brazilian man I am truly happy to see somebody educating people on something that I always had to explain that being Brazilian makes me latino but not Hispanic. We are lusitans.
Exatamente veéeeei, ótimo comentário
Lusitans were people from Hispania, also they lived in parts of now a days are in Spain. The north of portugal was habitated by galaicos, so trying to stablish a etnic difference between Spaniards and Portugues is absurd. Same people, same roots and different language
Can I self-identify as a Latina if I move to Latin America and am already Hispanic (Spaniard)?
@@floralbeats1343 Yes but not latin american.
@@floralbeats1343En mi opinión si. Aún que tuya identidad cultural va ser muy distinta, y se lleva años para adquirir una nueva. A verdad es que, lingüísticamente uset ya puedes identificar cómo latina, pero no cómo latinoamericana. Perdón mi castellano no es muy bueno 😪
As a Mexican, I don't mind it if people call me either Hispanic or Latino. But DON't fucking call me Spanish. Spanish refers to people from Spain.
+Alfonso Navarro Did you miss the whole "Hispanic means from Hispania(Spain+Portugal)" thing?
The reason some uneducated would refer to Mexicans as Spanish is the language by the way.
Mexico was a Spanish colony so yes and no. It's like how the USA speaks English and was an English colony but isn't England.
You are Spanish as far as your ancestry goes but not geographically.
+xelite1234 So all Americans (obviously except the Indians) are English?
***** That's like calling all anglophones English.
+Jackninja5 Actually you would be more entitled to call Americans either German or Irish, seeing as how the highest percentage of Americans have German and Irish ties. Although, I doubt even a fraction of the populous speak fluent German or Irish Gaelic nowadays.
+MLG Pengu Pretty much this. I was born and raised in the USA, and only speak English fluently (though I have taken some steps towards learning German).
But if you were to actually consider my "heritage," it is all over the place. About 40% German, 30% Irish, 15% Russian, and the rest impossible to determine but probably just mixed from Europe in general. Also, from one side of my family my grandparents were first generation immigrants, while on the other side my family can be traced back hundreds of years.
The very idea of labeling someone based on the country that their ancient ancestors came from seems ridiculous to me in the first place, because most people in countries with immigrants will be hard pressed to find a single specific location that they are descended from.
Of course, you could just then say that all of Europe counts as one location, and that might fit many people, but then what is the point of the labels in the first place if you can make them apply as broadly as is convenient at the time?
The truth is, the United States of America was founded primarily by the English, but then further waves of immigrants gradually made it so that the average American has less English in them than the sum total of other ancestries, by a large degree even.
Today, the primary immigrants to the USA are from countries stereo-typically called "Latino" or "Hispanic", and this has changed the makeup of our country as well.
Honestly, trying to define any group of people making up a country with a long history of immigration by a single term is just blatantly stupid.
It really depends on the idiom you're speaking, in spanish "latino" basically means "someone from a country that speaks a lenguage derivative from latin", which includes all of latin-america and latin-europe, including Spain and all hispanic countries outside of América (the continent). However normally it's just used by latin-americans and not latin-europeans so it doesn't really matter.
The video explains what it means in english, so it only works in the US and other english-speaking countries.

And if your italian ancestors were from Rome or from tye towns right south of it you are a true latino!
@@arx3516 The correct way of saying it is "True "Latin" and not "Latino" when writing or speaking in English. However, all Italy is a Latin Country whether from the south of Rome of north of Rome. So no matter whether you come from Italy you're a true "Latin". Although the Latin people come from one part of Italy the Romans adopted their Latin language and culture and spread it all over Italy so all the Italians became Latins.

thanks for your contribution! Obviously in Europe the definition of Latino is a lot clearer than in the US. Nevertheless, there are also different opinions on this. I am Spaniard and born in Switzerland, a country that has always been shaped by migration and has therefore grown very strongly both economically and culturally and has benefited accordingly. After 1990, the origin of migration has changed a lot until today, which caused gigantic problems that can still be felt in many things today (migration has moved to countries outside Europe - but that's another topic). There are four distinct languages (no dialects) in Spain: Galician, Basque, Catalan and Castilian, which has its origins in Castile, although "Castilian" is the most widely spoken. However, Spain/Spanish is not a term for one country in Spain Language. The term "Spanish as a language” is mainly used in America. By America I don't mean a country, but a continent. Thank you for your efforts and best regards
As an American of Filipino descent, I've always considered the ethnicity of the Philippines as Hispanic. The culture is more similar to Mexico than to any of its Southeast Asian neighbors. The people there are more Westernized than Asian. If the Americans did not take over in 1900, the country would still be speaking Spanish. Before that era, all of its history is written in Spanish. Many families still remember their Spanish forbears and retain their Hispanic names.
Philippines is not an hispanic country they dont speak spanish
@@commoninternetguy3955 THE PHILIPPINES was a COLONY of Spain for 336 years, then a trading center of DUTCH for 5 years, then Spain got it back and Made Mexico a VICEROY for the country after that 5 years of British occupancy until Spain got it back. AMERICA RULED THE PHILIPPINES FOR 50 YEARS directly by US Governor General and indirectly through Commonwealth Government. In World War 2, Jewish migrated to the Philippines, then Russians came when they fled Lenin, and more Middle Easterns settled. MOST OF THE FILIPINOS ARE MIXTURE OF WESTERN AND POLYNESIAN IN ASIA.

French Guiana is an actual part of France, in the same way that Alaska is part of the US, so I think it should be excluded.
+Atler the Dark I'm aware of that, but I don't see why that means it should be excluded.
+WonderWhy He means like it's literally French land, and therefore European land, not American. It's arbitrary but I can kinda see her point from an international relations standpoint.
+notmyuseristolethis even though it is European land like the Dutch islands in the Caribbean, French Guyana has a disctinct Caribbean and Brazilian culture and is not actually very French. The same goes for Haiti and Martinique/ Guadelope, which are French speaking (the latter two are literally districts of France) but have a strong native culture and would feel odd walking the streets of Paris.
I would generally exclude French and French speaking places from 'Latino' as the French places in general truly separated the French from the natives, wheras in places like Mexico, Cuba and Argentina they co-opted Spanish culture and made it into a disctinct, Latin American culture that doesn't exist in Spain.
+WonderWhy it is kind of a French exclave
+WonderWhy you could also throw St. Pierre et Miquelon at the mouth of the St Lawrence into this hot mess as they're also French possessions using the Euro in North America. Unlike the more Southern exclaves of France like Guiana, and the lesser Antilles (Guadaloupe/Martinique), or the former French possessions of Haiti and Quebec, the inhabitants of St. Pierre and Miquelon are still very much French, ethnically, nationally and culturally and not really creolized as found elsewhere or nationalized (Canadian or Independent depending on who you ask in Quebec) and would not "feel odd walking the streets of Paris" as +SantomPh put it.
BTW, I'm from Ottawa and can attest the European and Quebec French are two people separated by a common language. The Europeans can't stand Quebeckers for the most part thinking them mostly as backwoods cousins.

Originally the term Latin was supposed to designate countries that speak languages derived from Latin, something quite simple, but the Americans used this term in another sense, in my opinion in a pejorative way, and with that generated a negative view of the term Latin, to the point that many people are offended by being called Latinas.
Yes they separated everyone from Latin America because we had mixed native blood and weren’t “pure” so they divided us from European decent but now that being latino became a huge trend some countries want to be latino without knowing that the word alone was meant to degrade everyone from Latino America
@@jessicajanes5099Actually the term “Latin America” was first used to unite Latin Europe with Latin America and was used by the French because they were in competition with the English (Anglos).

If Latino or Latin America is anywhere that a Latin or Romance language is spoken, then you'd have to include Canada (i.e. French is an official language nationally). Yes, Quebec has primarily French, but there's also large regions and cities in Ontario that speak French, and French communities across the country. New Brunswick is also provincially official French and English as well. And then, there are obviously increasing parts of the US which speak lots of Spanish, so does that count too?

I work in a US retail pharmacy, and this "Are you hispanic/latino?" question always had some animosity around it. The US in general loves to include the terms as part of their data collection, so it's always floating around in my head. This video was a great eye-opener and leeds to even more questions still. But that's a good thing for the most part. One of the few applications in which I believe that the terms are truly important and helpful are in the judicial system. When you need to identify a suspect, describing them as simply "White" makes it very very difficult to narrow down. But "white hispanic" or "white latino" makes it significantly more specific. Either way, thank you for the video! I would love to see more like it! 👍🏼
There's a lot of racism that lies beyond the use of the word, specially in the US, is what makes it a problem. I guarantee that - in your words- many ''Latino'' people are not so easily identifiable by their appearance, in fact they are what you call ''white'' - in your words - . I personally would avoid it if possible, like jew, muslim or black. It's not necessary to refer to a person for one characteristic. Let me tell you, people of the US refer to themselves as Americans and their country as America, when the others are, accoding to them, Mexican, Cuban etc. But in the spanish language the word ''americano'' has a meaning, it refers, in all spanish speaking countries, to the continent or anyone from the continent.
I feel your pain. When I tell someone I'm Hispanic or Latino. They think I'm an Italian instead and think I'm lying. Even though I'm rocking a bad a$$ mustache and eyebrows that of Zorro. Just because I'm 6 foot and paler or whiter in comparison to my more brownish cousins. They become perplexed. The same can also happen if identify yourself outside America to other Latinos or hispanics. It's bonkers I tell you!
The video was interesting and fairly thoughtful about the various contradictory definitions of "Latino" and "Hispanic". That's what made the inclusion of "Amerindian" surprising and a little disappointing . Yes, you can find it in a dictionary, but that doesn't make its use any more appropriate than the common misuses of "Latino" and "Hispanic" that are also found in dictionaries.
For those who are confused, "Amerindian" is a shortening of "American Indian"--an old term for the native peoples of the Americas. The problem is that neither word properly applies to the ethnically native people of the continents. America was a European name, and "American" is often used loosely for descendants of European immigrants in the Americas. Of course, those in the USA use the term exclusively for themselves. The native peoples weren't from Europe and some don't like being called "American" because of the association with Europeans and how they were treated by them.
As for "Indian", it originally referred to the people from India, but then the early European explorers who traveled west looking for another route to India stumbled upon the Americas and mistakenly called the natives "Indians". Even after the Europeans quickly realized that the Americas in fact weren't India, the use of the term "Indian" for natives has persisted since. At least in the USA, many natives use the term for themselves. However, more are looking to move away from the mistaken association with people from India, especially as more Indians immigrate here.
This confusion left people searching for a more appropriate name for the many different native peoples of the Americas. The term "Amerindian" was coined as a lazy academic whitewash over "American Indian" that sought to distance them from the complicated history of the term while doing the least possible to address any of its issues. So, what term to use? That is still up for debate and probably won't be settled for years. One that does seem to be gaining support is "first nations", as it excludes all of the colonial baggage while recognizing that the native peoples are not a single homogeneous group.
Of course, why not just ask the natives themselves? Well...they often use their own group or tribal endonym, which does little to address the original issue.
My apologies for the off topic rant. It just seemed off that an otherwise thoughtful video about the use of ethnic terms would give little consideration for an ethnic term.
You make a lot of sense with excellent points. 👍

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

I'm latino and hispanic and I didn't know this was so complicated
Greetings from Costa Rica
I'm brazilian so I'm Lusitanian lol
if you from Costa Rica you can't be Hispanic, Hispania is in Europe
Latino is a culture from romance speaking countries, maybe Latino-Americano suits better
BIGMONEYJEFFAFA ayy, I’m Ecuadorian too
I'm from Costa Rica too , but i live actually in Wisconsin , United States
Don’t want to sound rude but You are not Hispanic is you from Costa Rica.
Hispanic is someone from hispania in Europe.
I think I am more confused now.... while on this type of theme, can you tell me what constitues being a person from Australasia?
I'm happy with this video, you're my favorite gringo now!
(Gringo is not inherently an insult, but just a synonym for "A person from USA")
All this problem began when US tried to classified latin american immigrants on his country. They took the word "latino" from spanish to group all this people like a "race", even when the semantic and etymological use of the word is so wrong. If we stick to the very first meaning of the word, "Latino" refers to all romance languages that came from Latin. In that sense, Latin or "latino" could refers to any person who speaks any romance language (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian or Italian) or even any cultural thing that comes from any romance language speaking country. Other definitions just have a political sense, but it doesn't mean that this definitions are right. You have two ways to solve this problem: 1. Don't be lazy person and call this people for its name: latin americans. 2. Call them by its geographic origin: central-american, south-american or caribbean. We are "americans" too, US can't forget that the whole continent is named AMERICA.
very well said!
Luis Miguel Alvarez Lamus YES. god im so tired of americans and their obsession with race.
What about the Galician people. They are in Spain but do not speak Spanish. They do, however, speak a romance language, Galician.
+LynneleWhite they would just be Iberians or LatinEuropeans/Latinos. Not hispanic since they are not speaking Spanish.
Luis Miguel Alvarez Lamus the real issue is when everyone that speaks Spanish is Spanish
Latino is of Spain, Portugal, Italian, French and Romanian ancestry.
Hispanic is only Spanish.
Andrej Draculesti 13th latin is only refereed to language and no ethnicity since it doesn’t exists any.
Latino is Latin America (Mexico, South America, Central America, and Caribbean)
@@brandonmoreno1752 no. Latinos are Europeans of Latin ancestry. The Spanish, Portuguese, French, Romanian and Italians are Latinos. A quechua from Peru, a mixtec from Mexico, a yanomami from Brzail, a black from Haitian... they speaking Spanish or Portuguese do not make them Latinos. It just mean they are South Americans speaking the Spanish language.
Latinos are from america latina
Hispanic/ Iberian/ spanish is from SPAIN the country in EUROPE
Ya already know us Haitians 🇭🇹 never get included in the “latino” conversation 🤣🤣 so it’s crazy to find out that the French were the ones that first used the term “Latin America”

un dato amigo, el.término latinoamericano fue usado por primera vez en la historia por Francisco Bilbao...y el video explica bastante bien los problemas del término, que se dan en inglés y en español...saludos compatriota
y para complementar, existió dentro del proceso de creación de la sudamérica independiente la problemática del cómo nombrar el proyecto político administrativo del territorio, pasando por el nombre de hispanoamerica, incluyendo a los hispanoparlantes, pasando por el nombre de Colombia, para el.mismo proyecto y el de latinoamerica para incluir a los demás territoriosque no compartían el idioma, de ahí también surge el proyecto de Andrés Bello de generar y mantener un idioma común en el territorio, evitando modismos para evitar la distancia cultural de los países y sus administraciones... así que está equivocado, sí se ha nombrado a estos territorios, sus proyectos políticos y habitantes como hispanos y latinoamericanos.
Alí Be Interesante.
Yo he leído por ahí alguna vez el término de Hispano Americano. Suponiendo que se refiere a los países que algunas vez fueron colonia española...pero hoy en día debería considerarse obsoletos especialmente cuando se refieren a hispano o latino como una clasificación étnica. Quizás en algún momento tuvo más sentido.

We Britons were Latin Europeans twice. First under the Romans, and again under the Normans. I'm still not convinced we're not Latin because most of our words are Latin.

Well.... Another point of view: We, the Italians, consider ourselves latino, as our cousins spanish, french, portugues .... that's a cultural appartenence
+Alessio Santiago Policarpo
Latino is a spanish word of latin. It is the same thing.
With the exception of Quebec, cultures born in the French overseas territories were not born of the nature of France, but rather were influenced and educated by French culture, that explain why mother tongues of them are not French but mixtures of this one with African languages. This also explains why the vast majority of people who make up the Francophonie are not Latinos, because they were not born of the cultural nature of France. Hence many of them have no qualms to change the French by the English for economic or political reasons (eg Vietnam).
French influence in its former colonies is very similar to that which took Rome in Britania and part of Germania. France inherited of Rome the talent of to educate as "teacher" to other peoples and cultures
For Hispanic cultures of the New World is another thing, because their cultures were born in similar form to the culture of Spain.
Before Rome, Tarsis (Iberian Peninsula) was just a place with several tribes scattered in several languages and ethnicities. It was Roma who gives birth to the culture of Spain when unify all these tribes through their culture and language. That explains why Spain gave to Rome several Caesars, Aristocrats, Philosophers and Artist (new ways of being Roman).
In the New World, Spain unify several scattered tribes through its Culture (Roman Essence), Language (latin) and Religion. That explains why Hispanics in the New World gave to Spain Viceroys, Aristocrats, Artists, Writers (new ways of being Hispanic) at the time that Spain was powerful. It also allows us to understand why cities like Mexico or Lima were more wealthy and developed than Madrid and London, or a farmer from New Spain (now Mexico) won 4 times more than one of Germany (the Prussian Alexander von Humbolt documented it).
The Spanish influence in the New World, is very similar to Rome in Hispania and Gaul. Spain inherited of Rome the talent of educate as "Mother" to the peoples and cultures that arise from its cultural belly.
Although the twins that born in Spain culture are very different from each other, they are united by the Hispanic nature that lies in its cultural essence, for that reason often Anglo Saxon confuse the Spanish culture with Mexican culture, because although Spaniards and Mexicans have large difference between them (eg racial or level of education) they share the same essence.
Portugal like a second personality of Spain, take meat of this one and separated of it. They founded the base of Brazilian culture through its Language and Culture (maybe Religion), although with less intimate and formal forms than Spain. As Portuguese are Latinos, also are the Brazilians.
The best way to know when a nation is Hispanic or Latino, is watching the mother tongue and culture. If the mother tongue and culture comes from Spain, the culture is Hispanic. If the mother tongue and culture has its deepest origins in Rome, the culture is Latino (Spanish word for Latin). In conclusion, all Hispanics are Latinos but not all Latinos are Hispanics, and yes, Italians are Latinos.
Julio Gonzalez Obviously I know... but they have different connotations: in US it means latin-american, for us it refers to people who speak languages that come from latin.
Alessio Santiago Policarpo

The connotations that they use have political purposes.

Yes, the gringos are the only ones who invent sub-categories, in no other continent they make such a difference. They are simply called by the name of the continent where they were born, or are they European, Asian, African ... in our case it should only be American since that is the name of the continent, but I think they only do it because they believe that They are the only ones that can be called American hahahahaha

Hey everyone, I'm a Latin American Bolivian and obviously a Spanish speaker. I'll answer your questions concisely because, from what I see, you (the Anglo-American community) often have trouble understanding how culture and society work in the case of Latinos. This is because for us, both roots are widely mixed and not as differentiated as in the case of the United States and its quite different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, which are somewhat segregated (in the sense that, unlike us, they don't tend to homogenize and form a truly unique and distinct identity as in the Latino case).
As the guy in the video said, technically there are not many significant differences between "Hispanic" and "Latino" because both, in real terms, are a consequence of the other, with Spain being a province of the Roman Empire, among other things. What makes us Latinos is the simple fact that we speak a language derived almost purely from Latin. This means that virtually all of Latin America and a large part of the Caribbean are obviously Latinos, which also makes us part of the Western civilization.
Regarding populations within Spanish-speaking societies that "don't speak Spanish," referring to indigenous people, it must be said that while they are technically not 100% of Hispanic (Spanish) origin, they are actually direct descendants of mestizos. As an example used in the video, the so-called "Collas," these indigenous populations are culturally Latino. Their customs are often highly influenced by Hispanic culture. For example, their clothing is not really "indigenous" because garments like the "pollera" have Spanish origins. However, their embroidered and other ornamental aspects are not of Spanish origin, creating an intercultural mix almost entirely of Latino nature. This makes them Latinos by derivation as much as the rest of the inhabitants of Hispanic America, although with changes in the interpretation of their worldview.
Now, considering this, it can be said by extension that every known inhabitant born, living, or having spent most of their life in the densely populated regions of Hispanic America is Latino. The only "real exception" to this are the tribes that were not conquered or assimilated by the Spanish or the mestizos. These are the tribes that won their respective conflicts against the Spanish Empire, although they were also assimilated, speaking their original language and Spanish. In my country, in the eastern sector, the following tribes were not conquered or assimilated: Chiquitano, Guaraní, Mojeño, Guarayo, Movima, Chimane, Itonama, Tacana, Reyesano, Yuracare, Joaquiniano, Weenhayek, Baure, Cavineño, Chacobo, Esse Ejja, Ignaciano (this one is more difficult to establish as it has over 400 years of existence and is unique to this region, but it is influenced by us and is effectively native to this place), Pacahuara, Siriono, among others.
As a curious fact, in my country, 36 indigenous cultures are officially registered, of which 34 are located in eastern Bolivia, in the lowlands.
So, to answer what a Hispanic and a Latino are: A Hispanic American is an individual resulting from the mix of Latin European culture with native American cultures, giving rise to us. This makes us Westerners by extension because even though this mixture occurs, the cultural, religious, social, and dogmatic dominance is practically Latin. That's why we are called Latino-Americans. Why? Because our strongest and dominant cultural root is Latin.
Regarding Paraguay: The information that the guy mentions is partially true. While it is true that Paraguay has Guarani as its dominant language, this, in no way, makes Paraguayans indigenous. Just to clarify, what happened here was that through functional and quite efficient policies, efforts were made to prevent the disappearance of Guarani as a language. It was dignified and its value was emphasized, which it indeed holds in Latin culture, and even more so in Paraguayan culture. This would be the equivalent of cultural dignifications in Spain, like holding Roman parades or reviving their roots as a sort of commemoration (it's more complex than this, but this is the basic idea). Paraguayans consider themselves Hispanics above all, despite having more living heritages than us in the eastern region.
I’m wondering why you didn’t include Philippines in your discussion? It was ruled by Spain then via Mexico for 500 years.
Colombian culture ≠ Chilean culture ≠ Mexican culture ≠ Argentinean culture ≠ Brazilian culture and so on.

Profesor Giorgio A. Tsoukalos vocês são latinos sim porque o espanhol é uma das línguas latinas...
Kira y los canadienses?
Dear Kira what links the populations of South america, except for the Latin language, to consider themselves Latin? This name originates from an ancient Italic population that did not know or even imagine the existence of South America. The only people who can claim this name are the Italians, French, Portuguese, Spanish (limited to the European component) and Romanians the people who managed to preserve far away, a strong Latin conottation in their culture. How many of you study Latin? It is still common for us to study it and know its values.
I understand your point of view and in fact I agree in part of what you say, besides no Latin American country decided to call itself that, it is something that they inherited through the conquest and colonization by Europeans, and today is a term which is used only to refer to the inherited language. If we leave aside the term ¨latino¨ as the linguistic heritage then the only Latinos would be the ancient people who lived in Lazio whose language was Latin.
Profesor Giorgio A. Tsoukalos Respeto tus ideas y tu derecho de preservar tu herencia indígena y de no llamarte latino si no quieres, esta bien, pero la verdad es que la gran mayoría de latinoamericanos, somos mixtos o mestizos, aunque algunos no les guste, pues hablamos un idioma europeo derivado del latín. A eso me refería con mi comentario inicial que aunque tuviéramos distintas raíces, (en nuestro caso 2, la indígena y la europea), seguimos hablando un idioma derivado del latín, por eso no sería incorrecto que nos llamaran latinos otros pueblos. Ahora si seguimos la lógica de las raíces culturales y genética y no la del idioma, ni los españoles, ni los portugueses, franceses etc.. serían latinos, pues son pueblos europeos mixtos también.
Ahora, sí coincido contigo en que un pueblo de méxico o cualquier otro país con población indígena 100 porciento y que hable un idioma distinto al español, es una estupidez llamarles latinos. :)

Based on the map you provided at 7:48, it would appear that your previous statement "the majority of people in Latin America are mixed between European and Amerindian" is indeed false and inaccurate. Only three countries have populations that 30+% may have some sort of Amerindian heritage. Those countries populations makeup maybe 8-9% of the 'Latin America' population at best.
I'm half Brazilian, half Spanish. That makes me both latina and hispanic alone, but not the intersection of both.

Seems like you have forgotten the Philiipines, Spain’s longest colony. Would you call the Philippines Hispanic since the culture is mainly of Spanish culture?
I'm excited and interested in this content
Spanish was an official language of the Philippines between 1565-1987, the culture and tradition of the Philippines is heavily influenced by Spain and Mexico. 90% Filipinos are Christians, 80% are Roman Catholic. Does that make the Philippines Hispanic? Most Filipinos have Spanish surnames. Filipino have 6000 loan words from Spanish.
You don't speak spanish at all, do you?
Filipinos in the philippines embraces their hispanic influences, but they still see themselves as asians (southeast asians). They dpeak their native language and Filipinos are predominantly malay people. And most importantly Filipinos no longer speak spanish.
The Philippines used to speak Spanish and Tagalog for many, many years but after the WWII and the invasion of USA, the official languages are now English and Tagalog but, unfortunately, the majority of young people only speak English.
Very interesting information, thanks! I assume your are Filipino is that right??
Ran Dee Li isn't there a language in Philippines that is a Spanish creole language?
I've never heard someone from Spain refer to themselves as Hispanic. They're Spanish. Actually, this is more of a discussion in the Americas. European countries aren't as concerned with this. They usually identify themselves by nationality.
headquarters25 ni
headquarters25
In a way. Spanish Americans tend to bloody themselves up in the Latino riot over identity. I for one have befallen to that.
headquarters25 It's everywhere, I would never call myself "Latino" when introducing myself. I'm Mexican. If Latinamericans ever feel the need to identify as Latinos it's only by courtesy to US people. They have a big messy infatuation over what and who is Latino, we don't. You also don't hear people from Spain saying "I'm Spanish" they say "I'm from Spain" or I'm Spaniard". That's because in spanish if you were from Spain, the word (in Spanish or English) "Hispanic" is irrelevant to someone's identify as a citizen of Spain. It is, again, more of a courtesy used when talking to a confused US person.
I never consider myself hispanic . i get aggravated when someone calls me hispanic . its always been "im spanish not hispanic"
My grandpa is Spanish from Spain. He doesn't consider himself Hispanic. He says Hispanics are black and Spanish is white. From Spain, Europe.
You’re mistaken. Italians are Latinos. Latino refers to anyone who speak a language from Latin.

@@cinnamonstar808 what??? Romance languages are from Vulgar Latin meaning the everyday spoken language Latin not “ghetto” Latin you idiot lol. Also Spanglish is not an official language? And 2400? Wtf are you on??
@Rodrigo not true. All Latinos are the real Latinos. Italy did not exist when Rome spoke Latin as the natural language. Also you have to understand the history of our people. The Spanish, French, Portuguese and Romanian all lived in Rome and were Roman aka Proto-Italians but we each migrated to different parts and changed our language from the Vulgar Latin to eventually our current languages now. The Roman who stayed in Rome became modern day Italians but technically we are all from the proto-Italians. Gf kid.
@Rodrigo no italianos son latinos porque italiano es uña idioma de Latín. Simplemente
Very good article! It’s very informative.
I believe, however, that you forgot one of the most basic languages in the Latin group. Italian, as a direct descendent of the Latin, should be considered one of the primary language in the Latin group.
This, however doesn’t make of Italian part of the Latino world. Yes, this is a very complex situation but, we have to live with it, don’t we? :-)
This video is completely uninformative about Latinity and the term "Latino", which has been around for millennia...
The Latin language and culture originated in Italy and then spread to various parts of Europe and the world, including America.
For which the term "Latino" originated in Italy and is a cultural term that has belonged to us since the dawn of the centuries, it isn't a term that was coined in America and does not only belong to Americans of Latin language and culture, but also to European peoples of Latin language and culture, precisely.
Ever heard of an international organization called the Latin Union (Unione Latina, Unión Latina, União Latina, Union Latine and Uniunea Latină), headquartered in Paris, which was designed to safeguard, promote and unite the whole Latin world?
Or that the conglomerate of European Latin countries are called Latin Europe (Europa Latina [Spain, Portugal, France, Romania and Italy]), precisely to differentiate them from the remaining cultural identities present on the European territory (Germans, Hellenes, Celts, Slavs, etc.)?
And this for centuries before Napoleon coined the term "Latin America" during the colonization and Latinization of part of the American continent.
Therefore, we Europeans of Latin Europe are the autocthonous Latins (Latinos in Spanish/Portuguese languages), while in America the countries of Latin America are Latinized Americans, precisely.
And neither Latin Europe nor Latin America are real nations or continents, but only fictitious conglomerates to subdivide the countries of Latin language and culture from the remaining cultural identities present in the reference continent, that is, Europe and America.
So as Italian I'm LATINO (Latino/Latina is a term used in Latin languages to identify ourselves with our culture, which we have been doing in Europe for millennia, not least in the monuments we have inscriptions in Latin that read: "VIVAT LATINORVM" [Vivat Latinorum], that is, long live for Latinity/Latins).
I hope that sooner or later you will get a real personal culture on Latinity in America, instead of making uninformative videos like this...
Greetings from Italy🖒
He did not forget, since Italian is not, as you said yourself, part of the latin world.
@YouknowWho We Italians are the fulcrum of the Latin world... open some book or use the internet to get a culture, thanks.
That it has been since the 80s that in America have been making disinformation about Latinity...
Above in my comment there is already all the information from which to start to acculturated a minimum on Latinity, such as the conglomerate of the Latin European countries, that's Latin Europe, and the international organization to which all the Latin countries on a world level have joined, that's the Latin Union, which was conceived precisely to unite the Latin world and to which, of course, we Italians also joined.

i thought that latinos were every country who's language's origin was latin
So would you consider Italians and french Latinos?
spaniards and portuguese actually made latin americans "latinos"
@@aidanbeattie8341 obviously, they are Latins.
@@joaoignacio1978 No they're not considered Latinos. Watch the video man 😳
@@robertomurri1278 Only for ignorants and nazis. For the rest, 600 million people are latins. Latino is only the spanish word that means LATIN.
It's ironical that Spanish language comes from Spain and some people believe that all Hispanics are Mexicans
Nice informational video. Nice presentation.
Latinos or Hispanics.. whatever! We are proud of our Latin Languages ❤️
Danny Fenty if you call yourself Latin based on the similarities between your languages and Latin then i can call myself Latin because i only speak a type of English and a lot of words come from Latin and French (which also comes from Latin). *NO* if you aren't from Lazio you aren't Latin.

french, italians, romanians, hispanics, portuguese and brazilians are all latinos which represents a language and a culture (not a race), because we are white too.That b.s. of "latino race" was invented in the racist U.S.
but hispanic means only the ones who speak spanish.
I just find it baffling that in the US census (and yes, I also find it baffling that the US still has a census instead of a proper civil registry), you're obliged to answer questions about ethnicity, so that if I lived in the US (and thank heavens I don't), I would be forced to self-identify as "caucasian", despite firmly believing that the entire concept of ethnicity is both utterly unfounded in reality and deeply harmful to any functioning society, the latter being an effect that we can clearly see on a daily basis in the indeed very racist US...
That's not true. As I stated on another post, Spaniards, Portuguese, French, and Romanians are not Latin. Thats like saying the Irish are not Celtic but are English because they speak the English language. The Spaniards, French, Romanians, and Portuguese do not descend from the Latins, they are not genetically Italic. The only connection they have to the Latin people is that they speak a language derived from their language. Each of those countries also have their own unique cultures. Cultures are made up of more then just a language. The only Latins are Italians.
+Ja214 - That is also not true. Identifying historical peoples with specific genes is a tricky enough subject to start with, but even if we are to assume there was a historical group of people called the Latins who were, and whose descendents are, unmistakably identifiable by their genes, your statement is still problematic. Luckily you didn't claim that all Italians are descended from the Latins, because that would have been blatantly wrong; the Latins only formed a small percentage of the population of what is now Italy back in the pre-Roman days, and more than two millenia of Greek, Gallic, Germanic and Iberian migrations into Italy doesn't exactly help that statistic. The main problem with what you're saying is that you assume that historical populations have remained to this day where they were 2500 years ago, and that is simply not true. Not only did the Roman Empire create a massive flow of people into and out of different parts of the Empire (for just one example, think of the sheer number of Italians that Gaius Julius Caesar gave land grants in Gaul to), but once it had fallen, there was a little thing called the Migration Period, a name that isn't randomly chosen but gives a good idea of what life was like in that time. Given all of that, nearly everybody in Southern and Western Europe, Greece and Anatolia, the Levant and North Africa can trace their ancestry back to at least one ancient Italian, and a good chunk of them will be distantly related to a Latin. It may be that the largest single group of people descended from the Latins resides in Italy, but saying that all descendents of Latins are Italians is simply not true.
So based on your statement I assume that the Irish shouldn't be labeled Celtic, correct? Their whole history should be forgotten because genes are complicated? "if we are to assume there was a historical group of people called the Latins". If we are to assume? There was most definitely a group called the Latins, Rome was only the city of the land they occupied. The Romans were the Latins. Italian people with the exception of some northern Italians are in fact Italic. The average Italian citizen is upwards of 75% Italic while southerners have a Greek element. But according to most genetic tests Italic and Greek is hard to differentiate as they are very genetically similar. The only significant Germanic DNA in Italy is only located in the North. Should British people not be labeled Saxon? Latin is more then a language. Its an ancestral heritage. You can't steal a term that has been created and used for thousands of years and the render it irrelevant and apply it to whatever and whomever you want. Italic DNA can be found in small quantities throughout Europe, what does that change? If an Italian had 3% Irish/Celtic DNA should the term Celtic expand to everyone? You're argument is illogical. Latin is an ancestral heritage, the ones that descend from them are Italic people's. It's genetic and cultural.
That doesn't make sense. What does the Roman Empire have to do with white supremacy? We know who the Romans are, their real name was the Latins and they were an Italic tribe, modern Italians are in fact genetically Italic. They descend from the Latins. The US has no right to take an ancestral heritage and apply it to people who have nothing to do with the Latins with the exception of speaking a language derived from them. I'll keep using the same example, it would be like the Irish going around claiming to be English and Aglo/Saxon just because they speak the same language.
Good info for the masses.
Great video, thanks!

My Mexican friends: your not a Latino you liar

Será que são amigos mesmo? hahahahaha
Imagina no dia em que descobrirem que no Brasil tem 30 mi de italianos/ descendentes e 20 mi de espanhois/ descendentes também, além dos portugueses que colonizaram essa bodega aqui, hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah, sim tem outros povos e devemos fazer justiça mas a maioria tem a ver com essa mistura aí... Talvez eles surtassem já que pelo visto são os mais apegados ao fato de serem os latinos e blablabla... Coisa tonta, no final do dia todo mundo segue sendo humano e segue tendo que lidar com sentimentos e problemas humanos, use a lingua que usar e pertença ao "mundo" que você venha a pertencer.
