Hispanic is a politically correct term to describe people from Spanish speaking countries, to distinguish them from the Spanish, who are people from Spain. Hispanic is not a race or an ethnic group is just a name. You can be black , Indian or Blonde blue eyed and you are Hispanic. Some people prefer Latino because the come from Latin America, but Italians are Latinos too because their ancestors spoke Latin. Mexican is what it is, people from Mexico, which is predominantly Indian or Mestizo. The biggest misconception in the US is to call everyone”Spanish”…..” in the case of food, they call Mexican food Spanish. Nothing further from the truth, a Taco is as far away from Spanish food as Hungarian Goulash or Thai. I am from the Caribbean and I never knew what a taco looked like until I was 21, and it was, of all places, at the Worlds Fair in Montreal Canada.
