Optional Resources for Module 4 |
A Definition
Hispanic/Latino is used to title
Module 4; however,
it is important to note the difference between Hispanic and Latino terms.
Latino refers to people originating from, or having a heritage related to,
Latin America. Latinos are a superset of many nationalities.
Hispanic originated in the 16th century and referred to Iberian
Peninsula residents who spoke either Spanish or Portuguese. Although
Hispanic is often used to refer collectively to all Spanish-speakers, it
specifically refers to a lineage or cultural heritage related to Spain.
Hispanic is not a race, it is an ethnicity.
For the purposes of this module, the term Latino will be used. For your purposes of building and maintaining good relationships in your community, it is recommended that you approach this sensitive topic thoughtfully by simply asking the individual’s preference.
