Hispanic vs. Latin __ "Many people are confused as to the proper use of the terms Hispanic and Latin. Spanish speakers are themselves in disagreement as to how these two terms should be applied. Both sides of this contentious issue feel very strongly about their positions and pose valid arguments. The following is an attempt to settle the issue in a scholarly rather than emotional fashion. The author believes that if we know what these words originally meant, it might be easier to draw the appropriate conclusions and use the words as they were intended to be used." - From Al Sosa - http://home.att.net/~alsosa/page2.htm 

Latino/Hispanic - Who Needs a Name? __ In essence, the term "Hispanic" is meaningless. "The 'Hispanic' label is eminently political: it identifies neither an ethnic group nor a minority group. It is the temporary outcome of political struggles between the major parties to win elections, particularly in the Southwest, and will serve its role as long as political alignments, the terms of acceptable political discourse, and the definition of legitimate channels of access to social and health services, education, and the road to upward mobility for minority groups remain unchanged." - From University of Colorado at Boulder - http://www.colorado.edu/Sociology/gimenez/work/latino.html
