- 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.

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".

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 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.
Americans are obsessed with redefining people and places around the world but have no clue about global demography and geography (most of them).

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.
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 😪
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
Yes, Haitians are Latino from the Hispaniola island, sharing the island with the very Spanish Dominican Republic. We speak Créole, French, and Spanish.

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.

Welcome to the wolf pack.
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

@@ihavenoenergyforyall Latin countries? Italy, France, Romania, Portugal, Spain. Latin American countries: from Mexico to Argentina.
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.
In Mexico we mostly refer to ourselves as Mexican or Hispanic and never “Latinos” lol

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.

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.

The obsession with race and ethnicity in the United States has influenced Latino Americans, leading to a growing preoccupation with these aspects among Latino Americans in recent years, affecting the use of the term "Latino". In Spanish, "Latino" and "Latinoamericano" are distinct terms with different connotations, yet due to the American influence, Latinoamericanos often identify themselves simply as "Latinos," contributing to confusion. Imagine a hypothetical scenario where African Americans begin to refer to themselves solely as "African," later denying Africans from the continent the right to call themselves as such.
I know many latinoamericanos who do not like at all when a Spaniard or Portuguese refer to themselves as being "latino", even when in Spanish they have all the right to call themselves "latino".
This is a great example of how cultural dominance can impact identity perception.
👏👏👏👏👏
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.

+LynneleWhite they would just be Iberians or LatinEuropeans/Latinos. Not hispanic since they are not speaking Spanish.

+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.
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!

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.
Chile is a third world country along with almost all South and Central American countries. The Third World countries are those countries which remained neutral or non-aligned with either NATO, or the Communist Bloc during the Cold War, so remained peaceful and didn't give a fuck to war-torn First and Second world whose people were living under the threat of a Nuclear attack from each other at that time.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

The Latin language eventually changed over the centuries in what is called Romance languages: Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish. These are the real Latins (Latinos in Spanish).

Latin American refers only to a geographical location of origin where Latin-derived languages are spoken. Nothing to do with Race/Ethnicity, Skin Color or Blood or DNA. Educate yourselves please.

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. 👍
Actually, in my homeland we don't really use the word latino in spanish, we refer to our half of the continent as latinoamerica but when we talk about other Spanish-speaking countries we refer to them as "Cubano", or "puertoriqueño" and to ourselves as "Dominicanos"; but here it's not normal for me to hear the term "latino" or "Hispanic", and even then, I just use the term latina when I'm talking to someone who is an English speaker and not a Spanish speaker.
Miss Abaxelis true like when we talk about other Spanish speaking people we say like mexicano, cubano, colombiano etc depending on who we’re talking about. I never hear anyone say Latino/latina, not even when I’ve been in other South American countries. Never. Only Americans (USA) really use that or like white or black people who aren’t from Spanish speaking countries. Mexicans have their views and opinions and images in their head of Argentinians, Colombians, Chileans and so on and the other way around. Even though to others we’re the same thing cause we all speak Spanish we don’t see each other as “the same” cause we’re from different countries and therefore somewhat different cultures and mentalities. I think that’s something people seem surprised by lol

Yes you would be considered descendent from hispanic. But you need to have more than that meaning you need to have hispanic culture and speak Spanish. Otherwise you will not be considered hispanic nor latinamerican by none of us, even if you call your self latino.

IT IS EASY:
HISPANIC: a person who belongs to a country that speaks Spanish
LATINOAMERICANO: a person who belongs to a country that speaks a Latin language AND is located in America
BY THE WAY, “AMERICA” IS A WHOLE CONTINENT, NOT A COUNTRY.

not educated americans... latino actually is described as persons(of any race) from spanish speaking countries(spanish as the main language), not from "latin" countries
Its funny because the real latinos are from Europe
Justice you're confusing hispanic with latino. Hispanic is being from a spanish speaking country. Latino is being from latin america
The problem here is that there is a difference in saying "Latino" in english or saying it in spanish.
The term in English is mainly popular today for its meaning in the US, which is popularly used to define people from Latin-America; however in spanish, Latino has a deeper meaning which, as so many people mentioned in their comments here, refers to those cultures that have roots in a "latin" or romance substrate in Europe. Loosely speaking, this correlates to the regions and cultures that emerged around the area previously dominated by the roman empire and thus those regions that spoke Latin and where modern romanic languages ended up evolving: inhabitants of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and some other countries still considered "Latins" (and from there the term Latino in Spanish).
There is a reason why "Latin-American" has the word "American" on it, and that is because it is specifically referring to the inhabitants and the cultures of the territories that european latin countries occupied in the americas and turned into their colonies, and what they evolved into. The same reason why "New York" has the word "New" on it. New York can be much bigger and arguably more important in international economy and geopolitics than the original York in Britain, and yet the name "York" still refers to the city in the UK, and the adjective "New" is still required to refer to the city in the US.
The word "Latino" making it to the USA and being nowadays used as "short" for "Latin-American" is similar to how in the US the word "American" is used to refer to its own population, while in Spanish "Americano" should obviously be used with its much broader meaning of "inhabitant of the american continent". This is actually something that is not necessarily unique from the US. In major cities in Spain the word "Latino" is often also used as a synonym or short for "Latino-Americano".
Nevertheless, in my opinion, the argument to be considered here is whether the poor use of the word "Latino" in the US, as a non-latino culture, or even as "slang" in Hispanic countries; should replace the original meaning that the "Latin" cultures themselves coined.
The guy in the video mistakes the word Latino with the word Latin American.
@@donguadalucio1405 Yes, he does, although I don’t necessarily blame him for that. I don’t know where this guy is originally from, but he sounds American to me.

The real question is: why all this is relevant?? these definitions come from the americans who are obsessed by labeling people that don't fit theirs patterns. here in "Latin America" no one really cares about this thing. we are only people from different backgrounds and cultures( yeah, that's right, we have different cultures) that live in countries with some problems here and there and that's it. no one be like: "oh I'm brazilian and you are Argentinian, that make us fellow Latinos, let's hug ourselves" this subject is really annoying and unnecessary. I think that this urge for a right and accurate definition of what's exactly a Latino is a big deal only in the US.

So accurate. The first time I realized that there's such a thing as "latino", that supposedly gathers us all into a bowl, was after watching some TV series from the US. Growing up in South America, we never hear this term... not even in Geography classes. We are, in fact, South America (Latin America, if you're referring up till Mexico), but that's it. Each country has its individual culture and history... the whole land area and people that the term "latino" portrays is not homogeneous as Americans tend to think.
@@bethiesen me too, as a brazilian I barely have heard anything about these kinds of terminology during my high school classes. like I said before, this is only a thing in the US, around here no one really cares about it. if it comes to classify the people by region, then the correct terms would be: north americans (Canada, USA and guess what: mexico too), centro americans (the isthmus that connects both south and north americas), and south americans( people from brazil, chile, peru etc) period. it's only when it comes to the division by languages spoken in the continent that you can say latin america for example, because in that way we have the latin america (from mexico all the way to the south of south america) and the anglo-america ( containing the english speaking countries, which by the way excludes the french speaking part of canada because they speak french and by this terminology they are included in latin american) so, what I'm trying to say is that all these terms doesn't matter but if you want to use choose the correspondent ones at least.

The term "Latin" is used in reference to European people whose cultures are particularly Roman-derived, generally including the use of Romance languages and the traditional predominance of Western Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism).[3] Strong Roman legal and cultural traditions characterize these nations. Latin Europe is a major subdivision of Europe, along with Germanic Europe and Slavic Europe

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?
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?
What stats are you using to say that the "majority of people in Latin America are mixed between European and Amerindian"?
I disagree with your removal of Italy. The Dicionario of Real Academia Española refers to those that come from Lazio Italy. In fact, look at the map of Italy, there is a region south of Rome called Latina. As a Hispanic person, I prefer to use Hispanic.

As per definition in Spanish from "La Real Academia Española" the term "Latino" has many different entrances, but one of the main definitions is "Perteneciente o relativo al latín, o propio de él" which roughly translates to "Belonging or relative to latin, or proper to it" which includes everything really, from the people that speak a language derived from latin (which the dictionary also mentions this meaning separately) to the "Gramática latina" (Latin Grammar) which is an example that the dictionary gives you. Anything relative to the Latin language essentially. So at the end as per definition (at least in Spanish) Latino can be many different things.
At the end we just use the word with the meaning of however other people's image of it is. As a Spaniard I wouldn't categorize myself as "Latino" because I know that because of the influence of the U.S. categorisation most people's image of "Latino" nowadays doesn't include Spain (or any European country that speaks a Romance Language for that matter). So I just straight up say I'm Spanish and call it a day.
Yeah that's how it works in Spanish not in English. In English is meant to mean someone from Latin America.

Pues etimológicamente Latino viene de Latín, idioma usado por los romanos. Y de la que derivan todas las lenguas llamadas romances.
Con eso en mente, yo diría que latino como tal es todo el que tiene procedencia de Italia y España, no restringido sólo a latinoamerica ni a latinoamericanos.
Hispano es como el vídeo dice derivado de la denominación de la provincia romana que no solo incluía la actual España sino también Portugal. Así que aparentemente también es incorrecto ese uso, o cuánto menos incompleto.

DJ Trevi That is partially right when it comes to the actual translation. What I mean by that is the fact that even though there may be an actual translation, the meaning they convey is different. Latino in Spanish does not have the connotation of someone from Latin America but someone whose language derives from the Latin language. It is a meaning that gets lost in the translation due to language differences, and gets misinterpreted by both groups.

@@akulakaboom Actually all the Italians are Latins and not just those from Lazio. Latin (Lingua Latina) is the ancient language of the Romans and their culture and as the Romans assimilated all the groups then living in Italy they imposed their Latin language, Roman Culture and Roman Laws. So all of Italy became Roman and all of Italy became Latin. Eventually the Latin language changed over the centuries. In Italy it became Italian, in France French, in Romanian Romanian, in Portugal Portuguese and in Spain Spanish. When the French, Portuguese and Spaniards came to the New World to colonize they brought with them their Latin-derived language, French, Portuguese and Spanish, and imposed then upon the indigenous population. This is why they called that part of the Americas "LATIN" America. People from Latin America are mostly Indios or Red-Skin Mestizo. This is their RACE and nothing to do with Latin. They are Latin Americans. Latin/Latino only refers to language and culture and it's all Roman and all Italian.

First of all it doesn't have anything to do with whether the Latin language is extinct which it isn't. The Latin (Lingua Latina) is the official language of the Vatican and Doctors, Lawyers and people of science must study it for their own profession. Secondly what is counts is that we have languages derived from the old Latin and these are: Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish and then there is the Roman Latin culture which never changed. Over the centuries the Latin Language changed into these languages known as Romance Language. As far as the Mexicans and other Latin Americans they have no right to call themselves Latins (Latinos means Latins and the right way in English is LATIN and not Latino). They are Latin Americans by geography of origin and their Race is whatever they feel comfortable with. They have to identify themselves by using their Race like we all do and not by using a Cultural term (Latin) which it doesn't even belong to them. The Latin People, the Latin Language and the Latin Culture all comes from Italy, Roman Italy and nothing to do with what the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, called "Amerique Latine (Latin America. They have to stop with this "Latino-Latino-Latino: bull. It's their RACE or "Latin Americans". Latin is not their "native" heritage. It was brought here on this continent with their Latin-derived languages by the Latin European colonizers and imposed upon the indigenous population. It's Latin American and not Latino. Latin if they had a Latin Culture but they don't have a Latin Culture. They have a Latin American Culture and Latin is not the color of their Skin or their Blood either.

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 Haitian , there’s no way that I feel Latino. ...I got my own culture identity and it’s call Creole... religion catholic/ voudou. Music Creole, dance Creole, food Creole, language Creole , people are Creole.

Lol you’re a goof😂 we have our own culture that is extremely similar to the rest of Latin America because geographically we are in it g. I understand what you mean. Often times because of our blackness we are rejected by the rest of Latin America and because we take pride in our African ancestry, we have no problem separating ourselves but if you want to get technical, as much as you’d like to reject it, you are Afro Latino. I would never say this before I say I’m Haitian but it doesn’t take a genius to look at a map, our food, our music, our art, our religions to know we’re in Latin America.

@@milmet3553 Well it would be "Latine" for us so even then we would never be "Latino". But we are not only Latin American but the first Latin American country. I'll rep that. First black country, first Caribbean Country, first and only Latin American country for a while, first free singular American country(America was a collection of independent states aka countries) if not then second (but still first since everyone was free(no slaves),
It's not about about culture bro
I'm Haitian too and I wouldn't say that I'm not latino
But many ppl confuse latino with Hispanic
