- More than 400 million people in the world speak Spanish and 10% of them live in the United States, according to the Cervantes Institute.
But when do you classify a person as Hispanic or Latino? BBC journalist Angélica Casas explains the difference between the terms and why it matters.

The term in English "Latin" is already gender neutral. No need to "fix" my Spanish from an anglophone perspective.
No Latin, No Latino, No Hispanics, You are not Italians ,not Romans. You are "Latin Americans" from Latin America and who named it "Latin America? The Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, they named it this way because their languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish come from the Latin language of the Romans.

@@HOSPlTALLER No it was no a White liberal who chose the term "Latino". It was a Spanish-speaking person named Frank Del Olmo who fooled the U.S. Census Bureau into adopting the term "Latino" instead of "Latin American" to identify the "Ethnicity" of the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas. Note: it's grammatically incorrect to use the term "Latino" when writing or talking in English language. The correct way is "LATIN" whether masculine or feminine.

gender neutral terms are for losers
I hate that word!!! Effing hate it. Is an Americanized bullshit!!!
Latin American doesn’t actually show what race it is just the geographical area which is why it sucks they then use it to label Latinos as minority race.
African American actually suggests someone is from Africa. Latin American sucks though as all it says is they’re from Latin America. Latino should be abandoned and people should be labeled white, African American or Native American just as the rest of us are labeled in the U.S.

They could just resurrect the neuter gender from Latin, and call everyone "Latinum" or some such :D
amorettique nova I’m about it
That sounds dope.
The fact is that they are not Romans. They're not Italians. They're not Latin Europeans so they have no right to the Roman Latin Heritage. They used to have a Latin Culture 500 years ago when the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, were there but since the they left 200 years ago those people in Latin America developed their own culture which is not really very much Latin. Anyway anything Latin, be it the Latin people, the Latin Language and the Latin Culture all comes from Italy so why would they want to identify themselves with the Europeans when don't like to identify with them? It's not that Latin is their "native" culture. It's not. They must first understand that you don't use the term Latin/Latino/Latina as a racial identification of a Skin Color because Latin/Latino/Latina only refers to Latin Languages and Roman Latin Culture and Latin American refers to a location where as person comes from. They have to use their RACE to identify themselves like we all do and not use a made-up name (It was made up by Mestizo Frank del Olmo) in order to unite all the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas without knowing what Latino/Latin meant and where it came from.

Both of those terms I never heard outside of the USA.

The issue here is that "Latin" doesn't mean "Latino" in English... But in Spanish, however, "Latino" _does_ mean both things, as we can see in sentences like: "ellos son migrantes de origen latino" (=latinoamericano), "el francés es una lengua latina" (=del latín), "el Senado es una institución latina" (=del mundo romano), "la jurisprudencia es de creación latina" (=del derecho romano), etc.... Whoever denies this doesn't have the slightest idea of philology/law/classical culture.
@@nariko47 It literally is
Hispanic comes from the word Hispania which was the Roman Region of the entire Iberian peninsula. So Hispania encompassed both Portugal and Spain. And even within Spain, several different languages are spoken apart from Spanish, i.e, Aranese, Basque, Catalan, and Galician.

Who thinks Latine would be better?
It is incredible that a media like the BBC makes these kinds of mistakes. Latino is NOT a geographic reference, it is a reference to the language a person speaks. A Latino is a person who speaks a language that comes from Latin. The original Latinos are from Europe.
@UC9yMJ67yQasUU6jEt8Kv1tw there's no such thing as a Latin American country. Unless you're a brainwashed idiot and believe what's in the school history books or what ya masta tells you.
@Gio tayyy Soy Mexicano.
@Gio tayyy Where do you get your information?
@Gio tayyy So, you don't have a source of information. Just what you suppose it to be.
I asked you, where do you get your information from? You don't answer, you just go around the subject.
I will tell you my source, the elementary school in Mexico.
There I learned that America is not a country, but a continent that goes from Alaska to Chile.
That the original natives of America are called Indians by mistake, because the first Europeans thought they had arrived in the country of India.
And of course, I am Latin because I speak a language that comes from Latin (Romance language) and that all those who speak Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian are also Latin.
@Gio tayyy Again. In elementary school in Mexico, they teach us that Latinos are all those who speak a language that comes from Latin (all Romance languages). They teach us that those who speak Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian are Latin.
Again in case you do not understand what you read.
In the ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF MEXICO they teach us.
I will complement the information hoping that you do not get too depressed because you cannot find your place in the world.
The original Latin peoples are Europeans, and additionally there are Latin Americans in America (America is a continent, not a country) and there are also Latin peoples in Africa.
Stop saying latinx , it’s ridiculous
did your folks swim across the border or crawl under a fence?
Call me latinx one more time and you will see why i am still alive in the streets of argentina
I'm still confused !!!!!!!!!
We are hispanic because speak spanish or blood spanish the other term latino os a invent for the imperialism french of XIX who invade spanish countries.... the correct is HISPANO with Brasil we are iberoamoercan because descendent of people or speak ibero language spanish, portugués, gallego, catalán
So that's why it is confusing to use "Latino" just for those in Central and South America. Latinos logically are any people who speak a Latin language like: French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, or Spanish.
They are "Latin Americans".
@@Comments_From_All_Channels You are Indians and not Latins.
@@Comments_From_All_Channels Latin, Latino, Latina is the same word. Latin is not your heritage. It's the heritage of the Italians and of the Latin Europeans. When speaking or writing in English it's incorrect to say "Latino/Latina" in English language it's "Latin" whether masculine or feminine. in English you would say "I'm Latin" , NOT "I'm Latino, I'm Latina". In Italian, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish languages it's "Latino/Latina". Latin refers only to language and culture and not to Skin Color, DNA, Blood, Race, Ethnicity as the "Hispanics" believe.
Latin America refers to a geographical location where people speak Latin-derived languages, are Christian Catholic and whose laws are based on Roman laws.
A person coming or originating from Latin America is a "Latin American". You are not Romans and although you speak Latin-derived languages you are not culturally Latins and why would you want to use a terminology "Latino" to identify yourselves when this is not a "native" heritage. It doesn't belong to you because it's the heritage of the Italians and of the Latin Europeans? Latino/Latin has a 3000 year old Roman definition. You here in Latin America have no right to change its definition. You are Indians from what the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called "Latin America" and the reason why they called it "Latin" America is because their languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, derive from the Latin. Stop the lies.
Is because the correct is HISPANIC THE OTHER LATIN CULTURE NOT THE SAME the portugués and spanish culture we are same and both are iberiamerocans the term latino is becaime from the french imperialism of the XIX who trate to invade spansih América

The French politician Michel Chevalier is often credited with popularizing the term "Latin America" in his 1836 book "Des intérêts matériels en France, en Espagne, et surtout en Belgique" (Material Interests in France, Spain, and especially in Belgium). Chevalier used the term to distinguish the countries of the Americas from Anglo-Saxon America, referring to the English-speaking countries.
It was a French way to subvert Spanish influence in Ibero/Hispanoamérica ( that’s the correct term to refer to the lands from Mexico all the way down to Argentina including Brazil. The latins are the linguistic and cultural descendants of the Romans, and ibero/hispanoamericanos are descendants from Iberia/hispania culture. There’s no such thing as latinx
That is almost true. Portuguese people are Hispanic as well. Also, latin people can also speak other latin languages like french, italian, galician, catalan, romanian, occitan, etc. Therefore, if we are being very rigorous, the only countries in latin america who are not hispanic are Haiti and Quebec. Portugal, Spain and Andorra are Latin and Hispanic. And France, Italy, Romania, Moldova, Vatican, Monaco, part of Belgium and San Marino are only latin. The only way to isolate spanish speaking countries is to call them hispanophones as oposed to lusophones or francophones, because hispanic also includes Portugal and its colonies
Hispanic are people who speak Spanish. no Portugueses speaks Spanish as their first language

Bartlemy it’s Latin but it’s also extreme

A little known point of confusion: Many Spaniards consider themselves to be and may refer to themselves as "latino" though, but in a different context. The Spanish word "latino" in the European context refers to people of Latin Europe (France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Romania albeit to a lesser extent). This term may be used as an alternative for southern Europeans when comparing to northern/Germanic Europeans. Even in the UK, the term "Latin" has been used in this exact way for a very long time.
Reminds me of the song "Corazón Latino" by David Bisbal, a Spanish singer. In the song, all his references are to Spain, not to Latin America. In fact, the entire album is named after this song, so if an American goes to Spain and tells them they're not latino, they may be in for a rude awakening.
Of couse mate. The term "Latin" (Latino or Latina in Spanish) refer to people who belong to a country whose language is of Latin origin (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian). You can find Latin (Latinos in Spanish) in America and you can find Latin (Latinos) in Europe. America is Latin thanks to Europe. Nowadays the term has been misrepresented and changed according to the American (United States) point of view
@@jmuller986 Exactly. It strikes me as so incredibly wrong to say Spaniards aren’t Latino. Lol

Stop Lying. Latin and Hispanic are false identities for most people in countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia and more where the majority or most of their population are Indigenous people or predominantly 'Native American'
Romans spoke Latin, they are the true Latinos. Lingua Latina or the Latin language is part of their culture.
A person who is of those origins like Italians are Latins.
Hispanic derived from the Latin term Hispanicus. The term is very old as at one point the Iberian Peninsula (modern day Spain and Portugal) was known as Hispania Terraconensis and it was a province of the Roman Empire.
So if you are of European Descent and particularly from Italy or Lativm, then yes you're Latin or Latino in spanish.
If you are of Euro-Spanish origins you're definitely Hispanic.
We the people of the western hemisphere 🌎 are not any of those European Labels. We had and still have our own identities. ✊🏾🗿
So : Haïti an french Guyana are latino because they speak french creole and are in America, whereas Québec is not latino ?
Weird...
Good point. Why isn't Quebec included?
Blame that to American that invented the explanation
We are hispanoamericanos not latinos cuz that term must include Quebec and Montreal in Canada.
I’m French Creole. We aren’t considered Latin. To me Hispanic refers to someone who is primarily White and Spanish speaking from the Americas. Latino is all Latin language speaking folk (white, black, indigenous, mixed)
Your comment was undoubtedly the most ignorant I have read in my entire life. Seriously, what made you think so stupidly?
How can you say that Hispanic is someone white who speaks Spanish when entire Latin American countries have Spanish as their main language? With the exception of Brazil where Portuguese is spoken.
@@luanavillalba2700for the same reason that not every English speaker in the US is white. language is not race. you need to know where they originally came from. he was very clear..."primarily white AND Spanish speaking...". What color do you attribute to a person with Spanish ancestry?
Furthermore, the colonization process of the USA was the same as that of the entire Americas (continent). It has received people from all over the world to this day. I don't understand the logic of this peculiar classification of races nor their problem with people's color.
Equatorial Guineans are Afro-Hispanic as well. Don’t erase them.
Hispanic just basically means Spanish. Hispanic culture just basically means Spanish culture. Hispanic person means person of Spanish descent or origin. (full or partial or in different degree). Hispanic language just basically means Spanish language. Hispanic is just basically of European descent. Hispanic is white descent. Hispanic country just basically means a country where Spanish have settled.
Same with the term Anglo but broader because it does not only focus on English people. Anglo people are who people who descended from the Anglo people like English, Scottish, German, Irish, etc. They are white or European.
Latino person or people just basically means people of European descent particularly Southern Europe like Spanish , Portuguese, and Italian, etc.
Latino- is speaking Romance Language
Hispanics - Spanish speaking countries?
Yeah
España y Portugal, estuvieron unidos bajo el reinado de Felipe II, por eso Portugueses y Brasileños podrían marcar Hispanic en el censo de USA, porque tienen antepasados españoles..
From my own experience while visiting South America the term Latino refers to latin-american people of Color, we view them as separate mixed groups, there is also large numbers of whites Hispanics but the American media outlets isn't telling you the whole story 🌁
I must say this is something strange because as a Portuguese, the word Hispania was the province of the Iberian peninsula in which Spain and Portugal reside so Hispanic should mean one of each but instead we Portuguese speaking countries are lusophone which makes sense because lusitania was in Portugal and parts of spain
Let me help you with this situation. The following is how I have broken this whole thing down and I am HISPANIC which I will elaborate on momentarily.
HISPANICS - Are all those who's physical phenotypes look European aka WHITE EUROPEAN LOOKING PEOPLE of Europe and speak 1 or more of the romance languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian or Spanish 🇪🇸! Castizos and Criollos are considered HISPANICS not Latinos because they are more WHITE European phenotype.
LATINOS - Are all people who have mixed blood like mestizos downwards like the castas system specifies (please see the system of Castas for reference to elaborate on specific mixing of bloods/DNA). Under this definition CHICANO, Asian, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE/BROWN people including middle Easterns and all NEGRO/blacks who happen to speak 1 or more of the romance languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian or Spanish are what you call LATINOS! Make sense if not please let me know why?
@@shittalker7533
You're overstating the role of race in this. But you're right to bring it up. It IS a factor & weird that the BBC doesn't even mention it.
IMO the main difference is that "Latino" is more political & specifically refers to the new world. "Hispanic" is more of a cultural term that emphasizes the unifying power of language/assimilation.
@@stevejohnson1874 Your wrong Hispanic is a race of people from the Iberian Peninsula its not the malarkey USA made up term you stated and I quote "Hispanic is a cultural term that emphasizes the unifying power of language/assimilation."

Hispanic is a race!
Excellent opinion. Indeed, Portugal was, and is, part of HISPANIA
As far as I know portugal and portuguese speaking people are also latin and hispanic, hence why some Brazilian artists had been invited to hispanic music billboard awards shows
I want to hear others opinions, because I dissagree in several points in this video. Starting with the word Latino.
Latino basically means Romance Languages. Any of the laguanges that come from Latin. The video mentions using the word Latino as a relation to language, not culture and somewhat about geografical reference, I believe then the concept here is wrong. Latino would be people that speak Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French. (Am I missing any other?)
Also, who decided to impose the idea that we need the word "Latinx"?
Makes sense! Thanks Dinguis :)

"Latinxs"... wtf? Say LATINO please
LatinX is a stupid term used in the U.S. in place of the proper term Latin.

Sorry bit there is a huge mistake in this. Latin (latino) cannot be used in a geographical concept to refers to people from latin America.
This makes no sense. People from latin America are latin-AMERICAN or latinoamericanos. You cannot drop the « American » and still think that just « latin/latino » will continue to be a geographical meaning relating it to the Americas
Just « latin/latino » is (like hispano) a linguistic-cultural concept that refers to the linguistic cultural aspects of romance-speaking cultures... which are rooted in the mediterranean world (Rome, whoc spoke latin...). Latin countries and latin people is the term used for the European countries whose cultural identity is an evolution of The latin culture of the roman empire : Italian, spanish, french, Portuguese. It absolutely does not relates to an geographical entity located in the American continent... what is latin In latin America is what they had inheritated from latin Europeans... all that relates with their native American identity and the specificities of the American history is contained in the word « American »
So, assuming that latin/latino is a reference to a geographical origin is just wrong. One can be latin and being from Europe (where latin culture comes from) and one can be latin and from north America, central America or south America... being latin doesnt say nothing about where one person is from, and obviously less about what « race » does one person belongs to.

Had my attention until you said LatinX
Everything you said in the video is wrong.
Hispania is the name given to the Iberian Peninsula by the Roma.
Hispanics are the inhabitants of Hispania.
This means that the only existing Hispanics are Portuguese, Spanish and Andorran.
This idea that Hispania has to do with Spain and who it's related to is wrong. Americans think they can name things whatever they want.
The problem is that not only these are used interchangeably in the US but both words have acquired derogative connotations.
My father is from Cuba but doesn't like being called hispanic or latino.
He's a based man!
I'm Brazilian and I've never heard a Brazilian call themselves Latino. I wonder if it's an American thing. Also, I don't think I've ever heard the term Latin X in my life.
I do not know when everybody will stop calling Spanish speakers "Latinos" "Latin X." Latin is an ancient language that a few languages derived from, such as Italian, Portuguese, French, Spanish, among others, Latin IS NOT A RACE!!! The meaning that a group of Scholars "decided" to call Spanish speakers "Latinos" does not mean they have to accept that. Another thing is the name of the language, the literal translation of Spanish is "Castellano" not "Espanol" Espanol is a male person born in Spain. Please stop that, I spoke to many people who speak Spanish (Castellano) and they do not want to be called "Latinos" they do not speak Latin at all either! They are Hispanic, yes. They do come from different countries who speak Castellano with some variants of course, but does not mean they are all the same. Please STOP!!!!!
I can't even indulge in on some history without some pronoun nonsense nowadays
Latino =! Geography. Latinoamericano (Countries in America who's official language is derived from Latin) = geography. Hispanic = Hispania = Portugal + Spain + other territories. Hispanic therefore refers to geography or geographical heritage. The definitions used in this video come from the obsession of the USA to racially segregate anyone non-Germanic. That same obsession can be seen in the recent movements which fall under the umbrella term of "Woke" or "Progressive".
Excellente and clear mate!!!
Finally... Now I can die peacefully. 😂😂
What the hell is Latin x.
Latins are from the area around Rome, Italy. You shouldn't call yourself Latin if you are not.
Nahh right now they are called africans or middle easterners🤣🤣
Sorry Mr. Pure but your ancestors expanded their territories far beyond Rome to the Iberia Peninsula, they're latin and we mestizos americanos are part of the family whether you like it or not.
What about the original Latins that spoke Latin? They became the Romans who were in fact Europeans. Bloodline Latins would be the Italians vs those who speak Spanish which is based in Latin.
No! The Romans were not Latins! The Latins came from south of Rome in a region called Latium. The Romans merely adopted their Language after they dominated the Latins in battle and took their land, if you want to control the locals then learn their language type thing.i am sure some of the Latins worked for the Romans though.
Hispanic is another term for Spanish.

Quebec by definition is way more Latin than Haiti or Guyana.
Latinx, huh? No thanks, I’m sticking to latino and latino
Mr. Francisco Bilbao is not even known in his country Chile and now suddenly they are saying that he coined the term Latin America. The fact is that there are no writings of his that contain this statement, as far as we know. There are references, however, that are being investigated. But the most widespread is that it was coined by the Frenchman Chevalier.
Latinx sounds sound like an insult more than anything else - Latinx suena a insulto más que cualquier otra cosa (¬.¬)
@Katie Williams It is impossible to pronounce in Spanish, apart from the fact that in Spanish the x is almost never used, and if it is used it will probably be something from Mexico (pendejadas), or that has to do with f+u-c+k-i+n-g, s+e-x ...
the masculine is already inclusive, but if you don't want to use it, Latin already exists (although in Spanish when we use Latin without gender we refer to the Latin language, and when we use Latin or Latin we refer to Latin America
Hi! I'm latino so let me help you with this confusion!
There is one race: human race.
Latin: language from the Roman empire wich evolved later in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian and a couple more languages.
Modern latin European countries: all those countries where people speak a language that evolved from Latin like Italy, Spain, Portugal and so on.
Latin America: countries in America where people speaks a Latin language (Spanish, Portuguese and French).
Latino Americano/a: person from America who speaks a latin language.
That's why we cam in all sizes, shapes and color... thousands of years of history my friends, don't forget.
Romanian and French derived from Latin. 60 Percent of the English vocabulary derived from Latin and Norman French.
Thats like saying I’m English because I speak English . If your not from Latium your not Latin or Latino. The term Latin America was created to give a political identity to Central and South American countries who were compromised of majority Indigenous and or descendants of Africa. Italians are the only true Latinos just like people from England are the only English.
American English and Standard English are very different.
Latino just doesn’t mean Latin American and there is no such thing as Latinx.
Latino Americana = Latin American
Latino Europeo = Latin European
The key word here is Latin which are Portuguese, Romanian, Spain, Italy France. People that that descend from these countries in the new world are Latino Americana. Hispanics are people from Spain. Hispania was a province in the Roman Empire which today is Portugal and Spain but Spain claimed the name Hispania as their country. Latin -> Hispania, Spanish-> Espania, English-> Spain. Latin America is whole mix of people from different ethnicities from Latin people to native Americans to mestizo not everyone is Latin.
Are you Italian?
@@michaelsonortega2387 Yes
So I think I got it:
Latinos: From (or descendants of) Latin American* countries
Hispanic: From predominantly Spanish speaking countries
So Latinos refer to all Latin languages while Hispanic refers to only Spanish. I hope I'm right, please correct me where need be
*Latin American countries are the ones that speak Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French etc (Latin/Romance languages)
I had to Google this because I was raised believing those of Italian ancestry are Latins and that those who speak Spanish from colonized regions in the Americas are collectively Hispanics even though this seems like a monolithic term.
So Latin America isn't a term that was widely used during colonialism. According to Babbel Magazine the term was first recorded being used in 1830 in the US by a French Economist named Mechel Chevalier and later used during a French conference.
It seems to be linked to a controversy as to whether the term gained popularity for the sake of ending imperialism by Central and South Americans or to unify with the French directly.
Napolean III seemed to use this term as propaganda to ease a power grab of Mexico in 1860.
Latin America just seems to have been part of a rebranding of colonized regions of the world to create a sense of unified culture not rooted solely in oppression.
I don't fully understand it though even after reading up on it. So I think it's best to just use people's nationality and ethnic identities rather than try to clump them together as one culture.
Latin America doesn't seem to exist for the indivuals in these regions. They just have a more regional based identity.
I think these more monolithic concepts are a byproduct of those of us in Europe and America because of how many immigrant ethnic groups exist in many of our countries as opposed to the countries in the Southern/central America and the Islands of the West Indies.
They seem more nuanced in their race classification while we seem more nuanced in our ethnic classifications.
I don't really think I care to understand this beyond the effort I attempted today.
Lusitania is also Hispania. Brazilians are HISPANIC people too.
No, Latinos are people born or raised in Latin America, you cannot be born or raised outside of Latin America and call yourself Latin American 🤷
@@luanavillalba2700 but what if your parents were born in latin america and moved to america when you are born? is my ex not a latina anymore because she was raised in america? that doesnt really make sense as your family dna doesnt change because of the location you were born. thats like saying my friend isnt black because he was born outside of africa.
@@breylivec If you were born and raised in America to Latino parents then you are an American "son of Latinos" But you are not Latino, you did not see the culture of your country of origin.
Easy to understand, thanks!
It is Hispanoamérica or Iberoamérica. Period.
i only heard of the Latin x term recently, lets leave that out
latino/hispanic shouldn't be used as a racial classification like it is in the U.S. because latino or hispanic isn't a race. I'm white with blonde hair and green eyes but also latina and hispanic.
are you cameron diaz?
Thats what am saying .call me brown or Mexican.
Sound white or European to me....
I saw Harvard's Instagram using Filipinx. Fact: We Filipinos don't use that term, because Filipinx is a noun invented by Leftist American colleges who are too concerned with identity politics. When Ethnic Studies becomes mandatory, we cannot say "hxrtory" anymore as it is patriarchal, and will be replaced by "hxrstory". They're dead serious about this. I would want to know what the Latinos think about the term "Latinx", at least the ones who haven't yet been indoctrinated.
BIG FAX
I'm more confused after watching this
I would rather you call me ever hispanic/latin slur in the book than to ever be referred to as LatinX.
I don't know... Hi I'm Alberto 😂
This is factually incorrect: Hispanic people are only those from the island the Spanish named Hispaniola. Currently this only comprises Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
hispanic=spanish speaking person spanish culture
Dominicans are hispanics=spanish speakers, haitians are french, creole speakers, so Haitians are not hispanics.
@Gio tayyy i said spanish speaking person and culture,culture implies the population and the community part nothing of what i said is wrong.
have you been to spain? a lot of things we share with them we have a lot of cultural things from spain what makes u think they are so different to latinos
@Gio tayyy you could say that about argentina and cuba too you could say it about ecuador and uruguay or mexico and the dominican republic too,latino countries have all different cultures in the dominican republic i never once heard rock music in a bar or club its 100%dembow and bachata or merengue.....in spain i easy could find rock bars like in argentina too electro clubs diverse music but not in the dom rep same in chile everywhere i could find places to play pool and listen to rock music clubs where electro music is played almost impossible in the caribe but common in spain and many latino countries like brazil chile argentina uruguay
0:58 no “we” haven’t. 🤨
Why do people forget that Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Romania. Are Latin-european countries?.... If you are from one of this places YOU are LATIN or if you will Latin-european.
it doesn't matter, if you are latino or hispanic, the only thing is matter, that we are brothers and one people, don't make people separates us from each other, ok
we're not brothers from one people. stop that latino/hispanic is a race propaganda. You have black, arab, chinese etc.. in latin america. we're not the same
This is actually so wrong : Hispanic - from Spain / latino- from the Latin countries - only Europe
This is the definition used in the Americas
It's actually Latinoamerica but they call it Latino to summarize it
@@nubearchivo2719 Latin American means Latin American. Cannot be made "Latino". Latino/Latin is the language spoken by the Romans and their culture. To be Latins it means possessing Roman culture.
Excellent!
Shameless it's so wrong and lacks on a sirious historical background, but ...........
The term "Latino" defines the linguistic heritage derived from the spoken Latin thanks to the five centuries of occupation by the Roman Empire in Hispania (Spain) and other countries; therefore the citizens of France, Portugal, Italy, Romania and Spain are the ones who may be identified today by this term due to the Latin origin of their languages.
Spanish speaking people in the Americas are the least that can be defined by such word because their original native languages were not modified and/or shaped by Latin, rather those were brought near to the complete extermination during the conquest; by the time of the arrival to the Americas in 1492 seven centuries of an islamic rule had past in al-Andalus (Spain), which gave the final shape to the new imposed Spanish language in the new territories that now incorporated a great amount of Arabic vocabulary as its own.
BBC World News live transmission, lady in the US being interviewed, topic the US election. Lady doesn't follow the BBC script when the question of Trump comes up, BBC squirms. You have to laugh.
Soon as i hear: "gender neutral term", i know it's propaganda.
Everything broadcast by the BBC is propaganda, they just can't help themselves.
Latino and Latin American are used to divide the europian Latinos from Latin Americans. Latino is still referred to language; anyone who speaks a language that branched out from Latin is a Latino, such as Italian, Portugues, and Spanish.
This is interesting
Super helpful! Thank you.
We are not “hispanic”, it’s like if I call a Chinese immigrant “Britanic” only because he speaks English.
Their National language is Mandarin! What the hell are you talking about!? Hispanics are people from countries where the national language is Spanish!
No entendia nada jajajaja
For real, its like Afro-American community labelling themselves as Anglosaxons or British just because they speaking English. Be proud to be Miskito (just an example) instead of using south european terms such as latino or hispanico.
No latino is in agreement with this Latinx stuff. Latin is just the name of the language. The entire south and Central American don’t even know about that “x” that you guys are trying to add to the word. You did not ask if it was ok to change a whole language. I feel this is a movement to add Latino people to the big gay community in the United States to try to be stronger in a nonsensical way. IF YOU WANT TO BE GAY OR A LESBIAN NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU. BUT YOU CANNOT BE ARBITRARY ABOUT TRYING TO CHANGE A LANGUAGE.
Mexico is not in central America
Hi there, I would like to add to this that the term "Latino" in the USA is used to refer to peoples of Latin America in a derogative sense, the truth is that as a Latino one should be called Latino Americano, but the problem lies in that keyword "Americano" this word in the mind of the people of the US can or should only belong to them and no one else, and just to make sure Latino Americans are out of that word, they have officially made sure that it's known more only as a "Latino", not American. That would be the same as calling a German person European and no one else in the continent of Europa. But, yes, Latino and Hispanic should not be mistaken, also I've heard and seen the word LatinX but I did not know what it was, thanx for the info, learn something every day
Very well said
Don't be dum, Latino is not a derogatory word you monkey fool
The Latin French colonizers called that part of the Americas "Amerique Latine) Latin America. They called it "Latin" America because the languages of the colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spanish, derive from the Latin language of the Romans. You can only call yourselves either Mexicans, Hondurans, Cuban... or "Latin Americans" and nothing else. No Latins, no Latinos, no Latinas, no Hispanics and no your latest invention Latinx. Latin incorrect in English, correct is Latin means possessing Roman culture and nothing else. Everything Latin comes from Roman Italy. It's time to really apply and study what Latin means.
Actually the term Latino and not Latin American was chosen by one of your compadres. It was Mexican Chicano Frank del Olmo who came up with this term 'Latino" without knowing that Latin/Latino means one thing and Latin American means another.
What's the point?
inshort if u are from SOUTH AMERICA or CARRI u are LATINO/A
and if ur language is SPANISH and u are from europe who speaks spanish then u are HISPANIC
I have a question, I’m brazilian, so I’m latina, but I have spanish descendants ????? rly don’t understand lol, can someone explain this to me plss
Ok , you are confused like millions of other Latin Americans who don't understand that everything Latin be it the Latin People, the Latin Language and the Latin Culture all comes from Roman Italy and that a person from what the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called "Latin America"" is a Latin American".
