What is the difference between the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino"?

What will be an ideal response?


The term "Hispanic" describes a person of Spanish descent, while "Latino" describes a person of Latin American origin. While many Latin Americans speak primarily Spanish (making them Hispanic), some speak other languages, such as the people of Brazil, where Portuguese is spoken. Thus, Brazilians are not Hispanic but are, rather, Latino.
