	+ ------ + ''2008-01-31 17:35:02'' [[nbsp]] The fact of the matter is that if you have a significant amount of indigenous American descent (as the majority of "Latinos" and Xicanos do), you are not a "Latino" or "Hispanic"; those are terms that refer to people of predominantly Southern European ancestry. If you have a great deal of Indigenous blood then you are indigenous (or as I would call it "Nican Tlaca'"), end of story. To be of Indigenous descent and to call yourself "Latino" or "Hispanic" just because you speak the Spanish language that was forced upon your ancestors is as ridiculous as a black person calling himself an Anglo because he speaks English. --["Users/Maitl"]

	+ * Yes, Hispanic is more a term that other people use. Government organizations love it because they're the ones who decide what "Hispanic" means, and that's useful to them. The problem is that neither Hispanic nor Latino are races; they're ethnicities. Hispanic = ancestors from Spain. Latino/a = ancestors from Latin America. The reason that statistics collectors avoid "Latino," I think, is because Latin America has had an influx of people from all sorts of places (European conquerors, African slaves, Asian immigrants, and so on) all through its history. "Latino" often overlaps with other ethnicities. You'll find, for example, people who are racially Chinese but ethnically Latino because their ''grandparents'' immigrated to Mexico and then their ''parents'' immigrated to America. It gets complicated. The [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html CIA World Factbook] uses this excuse no exclude both Hispanic ''and'' Latino. It causes me no end of grief, because then I have to pick between the categories they left and I don't really fit into any of them. I hate the CIA World Factbook. :( + * But anyway, to get back on topic... I'll answer to Hispanic, but I never use it myself. I'll identify generally as Latina.

Obviously the people being represented on the wiki don't identify as Hispanic, but as Latinxs and/or Chicanxs. --["Users/JessicaRockwell"]

	+ ------ + possibly people could go to the chicano studies department and see what people think. i recognize this is a specific population and they don't represent everyone, but it would be interesting to see what they think. in my experience, i have found many people prefer to be called chicanx o latinx, whereas hispanic is used mostly for those of direct Spanish descent. but i could be totally wrong. --["Users/JessicaRockwell"]
