Hispanic refers to someone whose ancestry is Spanish speaking.

Spanish is a language or citizenship

Latino is an ethnicity that refers to a person whose origins are in Latin America.

You're the fist one - Hispanic.

So Brazilians aren't hispanic then?[/quote]

No, they aren’t. But they are Latino. [/quote]
Silly, isn't it?

I know a dark skinned Brazilian in the US who comes from a poorer background but who now has a college degree.  But, according to the strict definition, they can't pick Hispanic.

But a blonde/blue eyed Spaniard can pick Hispanic.

From a college admissions standpoint, this is stupid. [/quote]

I despise how idiotic DCUM is on this topic.

On the common app, the Brazilian would select Latino (Brazil) as ethnicity and race as they choose. The Spaniard would select Hispanic (Spain) as ethnicity and white as race. It is not hard.

Do you people honestly believe admissions officers are as dumb as you seem to think they are?[/quote]
yes, do you honestly think AOs are the best and brightest?[/quote]
