Hi,
The Hispanic/Latino naming dispute refers to the ongoing disagreements over the proper use of the ethnonyms Hispanic and Latino to refer to the inhabitants of Latin America or people of Latin American descent. Like many other naming controversies there are supporters, detractors and critics and over the years there has been no consensus to decide which term, if any, accurately describes the cultural spectrum of this vast and heterogeneous group. The usage of both terms have changed and adapted itself to a wide range of geographical and historical influences. It is noteworthy that, although both Hispanic and Latino were originally used only to describe people of Latin American descent living in the US,the latter has evolved into an ethnic classification to refer to any person from Latin America regardless of his/her residence; something that has been target of further criticism.
