I have removed "Portugal" from the introduction's list of constituent Hispanic cultures, because none of the sources cited supported its inclusion and its not mentioned elsewhere in the article (aside from Brazil). theBOBbobato ( talk) 15:24, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
"According to a Gallup survey conducted from June to September 2012, it found that 4 percent of Hispanic and Latino Americans self identify as LGBT; this is greater than the estimated 3.4 percent of American adults that self identify as LGBT in the total population.[70]"
He was born in an English possession. In a catalan speaking territory. How can they be Hispanic? -- 79.155.192.58 ( talk) 23:24, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
This article states that Hispanic and Latino Americans are citizens of the United States with origins in the countries of Latin America or the Iberian Peninsula. I think that, even though the U.S. Census considers Portuguese/Spanish people as Hispanic/Latinos, this article should indicate that Portuguese/Spanish people are in fact not like that. North American citizens usually think that just because someone speaks Spanish, that person is automatically Spanish. Well, North American people speak English and they are not English, just like people from Quebec speak French and they´re not French. People from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba [...] do speak Spanish, but their culture and lifestyle differ from those of the Spaniards. Actually, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans do not consider Spaniards as Latinos. I know that officially the term Latino does not apply to Spaniards, but let´s be honest, an average North American citizen uses the words `` Hispanic ´´ and `` Latino ´´ as synonyms. I do not mean to disturb/annoy/offend anyone. Unlike most people who complain about Spaniards being considered as Latinos, I do not dislike Latinos. Actually, `` Latino ´´ is a wrong concept, because people from Argentina are very different from people from Bolivia. To sum it up: -I do not dislke Latinos, it´s just that Spaniards are not Latinos. -I know that the Census considers Spanish and South American as the same ethnicity, but when something is wrong, it should be indicated that is wrong. So my suggestion is that the article states that the Census is wrong.

User:Cau7ion's recent edits simply misquote http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep/49cfr26.htm , so desperate are they to expunge the Portugese (why?)
Suggest they be reverted. Pinkbeast ( talk) 16:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Just added citation that proves Portuguese are not Hispanic and who is exactly is "Hispanic" and shows my edit is justified.
- Cau7ion ( talk) 16:50, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
"more accurately you have removed one of the references you previous misquoted"
Replacing it with my source showing who is Hispanic and who isn't.
"does not discuss the meaning of Latino"
There are other sources who elaborated on that part.
@ Moxy I'm stating that the Portuguese people are not Latinos or Hispanic.
The Census's definition of Hispanic/Latino is here as you can see it does not include the Portuguese at all.
Look, I hate to use dictionaries as sources but this a time when a dictionary is indeed a primary source.
Here is what a Latino is and here is what a Hispanic is as you can see Portuguese fit neither definitions and not by the governments that doesn't really go into detail.
Even on this same page (prior to my edits correcting a few things) states the same exact thing I did:
"While the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, Hispanic is a narrower term which mostly refers to persons of Spanish-speaking origin or ancestry, while Latino is more frequently used to refer more generally to anyone of Latin American origin or ancestry, including Brazilians.""
"Hispanic thus includes persons from Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin Americans excluding Brazilians (who speak Portuguese)while Latino excludes persons from Spain but includes both Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking Latin Americans.
As you can see by the bolded it states the same exact thing I was stating, except I fixed a few mishaps.
So why were my edits reverted?
Not sure....
- Cau7ion ( talk) 18:47, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
I have seen this conversation before..not sure if here..but i do remember the book used as a source (as I have used it in other areas of Wikipedia) - As you have show above with the source you have quoted the article should be broad in its approach. More can be seen at the ref I was talking about please read over Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola; Thomas P. Gullotta (2009). Depression in Latinos: Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention. Springer. p. 7. ISBN 978-0-387-78512-7. . As for why the edits we reverted ...they are clearly disputed by the editor above and thus should be discussed before reimplementation. I personally see a narrow view trying to be implemented despite the sources used in the article including those on stats. -- Moxy ( talk) 18:55, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
It's exactly what I was saying and it's obvious from that article you can see the Portuguese are not Hispanic/Latino and my post above with the bolded text from quotes in this article aka the one we're currently discussing evidently states the same thing in a part.
My edits fixing a false part (that possibly implies the Portuguese are Hispanic/Latino) and a couple other problems I've had with the article we're discussing (grammar, place of citation, a few mishaps) being reverted is confusing.
Yes, Pinkbeast it was an accident editing the quotes from the source as I thought that was apart of the article and wasn't aware it was actually a direct quote from a source, I apologize and just explained on the noticeboard it was an accident. - Cau7ion ( talk) 19:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
"As far as I can see the only error fixed was the replacement of a comma"
I actually fixed a few other grammar errors and mishaps (citation at wrong spot, not be confused with the one I edited by accident) making the definition of ""Hispanic"" and "Latino" more clear and a few other things.
I just edited the article again basically to what my above statement says and if you have a problem with this version, please elaborate. - Cau7ion ( talk) 21:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Brazilians are South Americans or simply Brazilians as Quebecois are Canadians. The people of these two countries are not Latinos, even though their languages have Latin as root. I've always heard that Brazilians are Latino, just not Hispanic. It makes no sense that Brazilians would not be Latino. WoundedWolfgirl ( talk) 07:46, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
The Mayans are not indigenous to the United States. 99.247.1.157 ( talk) 01:11, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Note that the lead has 10 citations to justify the fact that Brazilians, who speak Portuguese, are sometimes counted as Latinos. As I see it, any revision to the page must acknowledge that fact. Pinkbeast ( talk) 01:32, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
these 10 citations will be analyzed, however the U.S. government does not recognize these inclusions in the term Hispanic or Latino. Brazilians, Portugese, Haitians, people from Belize are not included in any cultural, economic, population or any official survey. Some editors are giving undue weight of gigantic proportions to some definitions that do not include the requirement of the Spanish language or culture. These groups are not considered Hispanic or Latino neither officially nor in their communities. This article has become a laughing stock with people putting forth their own personal agendas. I'm reverting as much as I can to Joe Calders last edit. Moxy please correct the mess that you left. Tierraman ( talk) 01:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Tierraman ( talk) 10:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I think for the time being there are some facts we should take into account when deciding. (1) There is a reliable source which states that the term "Latin peoples" covers Hispanic and Latino Americans. (2) There are reliable sources which incidentally use the "Latin" adjective in connection with some Romance-speaking people (such as Romanians, French). (3) For about two years, no reliable source has been presented which exclusively (not only incidentally) deals with the topic "Latin peoples". (4) For the time being, the article is based either on OR or on reliable sources which do not mention the term "Latin peoples". Consequently, I think we should create a disambiguation page named "Latin peoples" with two links (a) Peoples speaking a Romance language. (b) Hispanic and Latino Americans. Borsoka ( talk) 14:44, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

How did the Pew Research group conclude that every single US citizen of Latino/Hispanic heritage is a Spanish speaker?-- 108.0.215.194 ( talk) 03:15, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
As of the most recent census the "Hispanic or Latino" ethnic category has been amended in 2010 to be "Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin". As such I believe it is only right that the wikipedia article should also reflect the Census' inclusion of Spanish Americans under the banner of the "Hispanic or Latino" ethnic group as an equal partner. 96.231.17.247 ( talk) 02:04, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Spanish Americans have always been included under the Hispanic or Latino banner since it was first created as the term Hispanic. However the term was modified to Hispanic or Latino because some people under the Hispanic term felt more comfortable using the term Latino. The groups of people and countries that the term covered did not change. It just gave the option of people to use the term they felt more comfortable with. It was not meant to divide the group by countries, hemispheres etc...— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tierraman ( talk • contribs) 09:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

In Latin America if you call someone(indigenous person) latino is consider an insult. Latino is the Spanish for Latin in English. Is an adjective and refers to people who Speak a Latin Language. That is the reason why many people in the USA(Latinos) hate the word.

This article is about hispanic and Latin American people in the USA but the article title says Hispanic (which is a US word) and Latin Americans which is a pair of words used to describe people who live in Latin America and has no connection to the USA. This title smacks of "we think this is a US encyclopédia" and thus needs changing urgently, as we are very much NOT a US encyclopedia. Does anyone object?

No, they are not studies.We have to many things to resolve to waste money in that. I live in Latin America and we have white(pure european descents), black, Jewish, Arbs, Chinese, Japanese and immigrants are still coming to many(not all) countries in Latin America. Most of the people who immigrate to the USA are poor and mixed. I you go(I went) to Argentina they are very white and very European looking. I am mixed but I know the white people in Latin American and many of them do have European passport. Latin American is a very complicated society so if you were not born in here is hard to understand. Indigenous people(pure indians) do exist and they speak another language . For example: Guarani, Aymara, Quechua but they consider themselves Indigineous not Latino. Latino have a different meaning in Latin America an for some it can be offensive. Are there any genetic studies on latinos? Are not latinos mostly ethnically celtic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.103.149.72 ( talk) 19:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Iberians, like Western Europeans, do not share mainly R1a, but R1b: http://www.scs.illinois.edu/~mcdonald/WorldHaplogroupsMaps.pdf Pipo.
Actually within the Puerto Rico, Argentina or Venezuelan "Countries" there are different ethnic groups within each. What you are saying is like saying in the United States there is really only 'the United States ethnic group'. Also making a blanket statement on Latin Americans on Dna is incorrect. There could be vast differences. In most countries of Latin America(excluding the Carribean)most people have not even seen someone of African descent. Tierraman ( talk) 07:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
"The people living in the Iberian Penninsula region are fairly admixed, which means that when creating genetic ethnicity estimates for people native to this area, we see similarities to DNA profiles from other nearby regions. We’ve found that approximately 51% of the typical native’s (Spain and Portugal) DNA comes from this region." However the Iberian Penninsula region's Population includes DNA from many other Areas which are not Latin, including North Africa. Tierraman ( talk) 07:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

I respectfully request that all the race information on top be moved lower to the race section. This subject seems to have been given what I believe to be undue weight and contains much original research. Also I submit that some of the terms like tri-racial, Octaroons, Quadroons, Mullatos, Mestizos, have a good chance of perceived as derogatory to some people. They also serve not to clarify, but to lead readers astray as to subjects actual race or ancestry. I would like to edit these to reflect actual race or ancestries.

That picture should be removed. They are not hispanic, but outright Spanish (So in European language they are just "normal white"). The details reveal that the picture was taken in Pamplona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.95.114.104 ( talk) 02:33, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Of course Spaniards are normal white, they are also normal Latins and they are also normal Hispanics. Look up the origin of the word Hispanic and see for yourself. In fact the biggest parade in Spain is "El dia de Hispanidad" which means The day of hispanism and/or Day of Hispanics. Also not all Spaniards are white. Please do objective research.
According to the 2000 Census there were 100,135 Spaniards in the US. According to the 2010 Census there were 635,253 Spaniards in the US. That means 535,118 more Spaniards. Seriously? Is the US Census a reliable source? -- 86.30.135.172 ( talk) 09:18, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Without going into details, there needs to be a disclaimer that this article is a mess. It should be a fundamentally linguistic explanation and should not combine the terms Hispanic and Latino in the same article. They should have separate articles. Otherwise, you get a mess, which is what this article is. A good model for fixing it would be to start with something like "Hispanics" in Britannica Online. Godofredo29 ( talk) 14:26, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Five of the "famous Hispanic and Latino Americans" displayed in the side infobox are politicians (three in Congress, one as the Governor of New Mexico, and one as a former executive official). Furthermore, four of those five are Republicans. Could we please diversify the Hispanic and Latino cultural icons displayed in the infobox, perhaps by including even one musician, writer, film director, artist, scientist, inventor, or businessperson? Seriously, as a cross-section of important Hispanics and Latinos/Latinas, this is pretty lame. 128.84.125.132 ( talk) 01:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Iberian people (Portuguese, Spanish, and Andorrans) should not be included in the article since they are not Hispanic or Latino but caucasian or white, according to the US census definition for Europeans. It is misleading because people with Spanish, Portuguese or even German, British and French ancestry born in Latin America are considered Hispanic or Latino (either white, black, native, asian, mixed or other). Hispanic or Latino is used for people from Latin America as a region and should not be applied for other people with origins directly in Europe, which the proper term should be European. Since Iberia is in Europe, Spaniards and Portuguese, or people born in Spain or Portugal should be considered Europeans (of any race) and not Hispanic or latino. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.34.72.123 ( talk) 13:13, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Portuguese-American originate in Portugal which is in Europe and speak Portuguese, hence they cannot be labeled as "Hispanic" nor "Latino-American".

I think the US Hispanic/Latino population count is inaccurate and overcounted. Here's why: For example, a person may be half Puerto Rican and half Dominican, and identifies as such on the census. This person may be counted towards both the Dominican American population estimate and the Puerto Rican American estimate. Now, for the total US Hispanic/Latino population to be counted, the population estimates of all individual Hispanic groups have to be combined in order to get the total US Hispanic Latino count, which ultimately means that person (and all other ppl who are half one hispanic nationality and half another hispanic nationality) are counted twice. Which leads to a over count. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spreadofknowledge ( talk • contribs) 18:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
This page might benefit from an additional subsection from culture with some broad information about literature written by Hispanic & Latin Americans (both in Spanish and English). How this literature has influenced different people and groups is important as well.
I would suggest referring to the Wikipedia page "category: Hispanic and Latino American literature" for information, and then providing a brief overview. Windyrmt ( talk) 20:07, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
This group is compared to other minorities in the US, parallels to Blacks or African-Americans (Hispanics/Latinos are called "people of color" even if there are white Hispanics/Latinos), Asian-Americans (the so-called "perpetual foreigners" if there are US-born Hispanics/Latinos), Jews (the anti-semitic "Alien race" canard, Hispanics/ Latinos are called "illegal aliens" which is a slur and stereotype), Native Americans (indigenous to parts of the USA, notably the Southwest, Mexican-Americans have partial Native American descent), French-Canadians (the Southwest may have a Spanish-speaking majority, similar to French spoken in Quebec in Canada), Middle Eastern/North African people (Hispanic/Latino immigrants appear to threaten society, due to differences in culture and religion, and "pose a security risk"), even Pacific Islanders ("colonial subjects" like the Southwest, Florida and Puerto Rico were "taken over by the US") and previous White ethnic groups arrived as immigrants in the 19th-early 20th century period (Central and South Americans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans' experience differ from many Mexican-Americans and Spanish-Americans, a.k.a.

Corrected "Americanos hispanos" with "Estadounidenses hispanos", since the Spanish word "americano" applies to any person from the American continent, from Canada to Argentina.

I have removed "Portugal" from the introduction's list of constituent Hispanic cultures, because none of the sources cited supported its inclusion and its not mentioned elsewhere in the article (aside from Brazil). theBOBbobato ( talk) 15:24, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

This article states that Hispanic and Latino Americans are citizens of the United States with origins in the countries of Latin America or the Iberian Peninsula. I think that, even though the U.S. Census considers Portuguese/Spanish people as Hispanic/Latinos, this article should indicate that Portuguese/Spanish people are in fact not like that. North American citizens usually think that just because someone speaks Spanish, that person is automatically Spanish. Well, North American people speak English and they are not English, just like people from Quebec speak French and they´re not French. People from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba [...] do speak Spanish, but their culture and lifestyle differ from those of the Spaniards. Actually, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans do not consider Spaniards as Latinos. I know that officially the term Latino does not apply to Spaniards, but let´s be honest, an average North American citizen uses the words `` Hispanic ´´ and `` Latino ´´ as synonyms. I do not mean to disturb/annoy/offend anyone. Unlike most people who complain about Spaniards being considered as Latinos, I do not dislike Latinos. Actually, `` Latino ´´ is a wrong concept, because people from Argentina are very different from people from Bolivia. To sum it up: -I do not dislke Latinos, it´s just that Spaniards are not Latinos. -I know that the Census considers Spanish and South American as the same ethnicity, but when something is wrong, it should be indicated that is wrong. So my suggestion is that the article states that the Census is wrong.

User:Cau7ion's recent edits simply misquote http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep/49cfr26.htm , so desperate are they to expunge the Portugese (why?)
Suggest they be reverted. Pinkbeast ( talk) 16:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Just added citation that proves Portuguese are not Hispanic and who is exactly is "Hispanic" and shows my edit is justified.
- Cau7ion ( talk) 16:50, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
"more accurately you have removed one of the references you previous misquoted"
Replacing it with my source showing who is Hispanic and who isn't.
"does not discuss the meaning of Latino"
There are other sources who elaborated on that part.
@ Moxy I'm stating that the Portuguese people are not Latinos or Hispanic.
The Census's definition of Hispanic/Latino is here as you can see it does not include the Portuguese at all.
Look, I hate to use dictionaries as sources but this a time when a dictionary is indeed a primary source.
Here is what a Latino is and here is what a Hispanic is as you can see Portuguese fit neither definitions and not by the governments that doesn't really go into detail.
Even on this same page (prior to my edits correcting a few things) states the same exact thing I did:
"While the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, Hispanic is a narrower term which mostly refers to persons of Spanish-speaking origin or ancestry, while Latino is more frequently used to refer more generally to anyone of Latin American origin or ancestry, including Brazilians.""
"Hispanic thus includes persons from Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin Americans excluding Brazilians (who speak Portuguese)while Latino excludes persons from Spain but includes both Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking Latin Americans.
As you can see by the bolded it states the same exact thing I was stating, except I fixed a few mishaps.
So why were my edits reverted?
Not sure....
- Cau7ion ( talk) 18:47, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
I have seen this conversation before..not sure if here..but i do remember the book used as a source (as I have used it in other areas of Wikipedia) - As you have show above with the source you have quoted the article should be broad in its approach. More can be seen at the ref I was talking about please read over Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola; Thomas P. Gullotta (2009). Depression in Latinos: Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention. Springer. p. 7. ISBN 978-0-387-78512-7. . As for why the edits we reverted ...they are clearly disputed by the editor above and thus should be discussed before reimplementation. I personally see a narrow view trying to be implemented despite the sources used in the article including those on stats. -- Moxy ( talk) 18:55, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
It's exactly what I was saying and it's obvious from that article you can see the Portuguese are not Hispanic/Latino and my post above with the bolded text from quotes in this article aka the one we're currently discussing evidently states the same thing in a part.
My edits fixing a false part (that possibly implies the Portuguese are Hispanic/Latino) and a couple other problems I've had with the article we're discussing (grammar, place of citation, a few mishaps) being reverted is confusing.
Yes, Pinkbeast it was an accident editing the quotes from the source as I thought that was apart of the article and wasn't aware it was actually a direct quote from a source, I apologize and just explained on the noticeboard it was an accident. - Cau7ion ( talk) 19:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
"As far as I can see the only error fixed was the replacement of a comma"
I actually fixed a few other grammar errors and mishaps (citation at wrong spot, not be confused with the one I edited by accident) making the definition of ""Hispanic"" and "Latino" more clear and a few other things.
I just edited the article again basically to what my above statement says and if you have a problem with this version, please elaborate. - Cau7ion ( talk) 21:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Brazilians are South Americans or simply Brazilians as Quebecois are Canadians. The people of these two countries are not Latinos, even though their languages have Latin as root.

The Mayans are not indigenous to the United States. 99.247.1.157 ( talk) 01:11, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Note that the lead has 10 citations to justify the fact that Brazilians, who speak Portuguese, are sometimes counted as Latinos. As I see it, any revision to the page must acknowledge that fact. Pinkbeast ( talk) 01:32, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
these 10 citations will be analyzed, however the U.S. government does not recognize these inclusions in the term Hispanic or Latino. Brazilians, Portugese, Haitians, people from Belize are not included in any cultural, economic, population or any official survey. Some editors are giving undue weight of gigantic proportions to some definitions that do not include the requirement of the Spanish language or culture. These groups are not considered Hispanic or Latino neither officially nor in their communities. This article has become a laughing stock with people putting forth their own personal agendas.

I think for the time being there are some facts we should take into account when deciding. (1) There is a reliable source which states that the term "Latin peoples" covers Hispanic and Latino Americans. (2) There are reliable sources which incidentally use the "Latin" adjective in connection with some Romance-speaking people (such as Romanians, French). (3) For about two years, no reliable source has been presented which exclusively (not only incidentally) deals with the topic "Latin peoples". (4) For the time being, the article is based either on OR or on reliable sources which do not mention the term "Latin peoples". Consequently, I think we should create a disambiguation page named "Latin peoples" with two links (a) Peoples speaking a Romance language. (b) Hispanic and Latino Americans. Borsoka ( talk) 14:44, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

As of the most recent census the "Hispanic or Latino" ethnic category has been amended in 2010 to be "Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin". As such I believe it is only right that the wikipedia article should also reflect the Census' inclusion of Spanish Americans under the banner of the "Hispanic or Latino" ethnic group as an equal partner. 96.231.17.247 ( talk) 02:04, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Spanish Americans have always been included under the Hispanic or Latino banner since it was first created as the term Hispanic. However the term was modified to Hispanic or Latino because some people under the Hispanic term felt more comfortable using the term Latino. The groups of people and countries that the term covered did not change. It just gave the option of people to use the term they felt more comfortable with. It was not meant to divide the group by countries, hemispheres etc...— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tierraman ( talk • contribs) 09:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

In Latin America if you call someone(indigenous person) latino is consider an insult. Latino is the Spanish for Latin in English. Is an adjective and refers to people who Speak a Latin Language.

This article is about hispanic and Latin American people in the USA but the article title says Hispanic (which is a US word) and Latin Americans which is a pair of words used to describe people who live in Latin America and has no connection to the USA.

No, they are not studies.We have to many things to resolve to waste money in that. I live in Latin America and we have white(pure european descents), black, Jewish, Arbs, Chinese, Japanese and immigrants are still coming to many(not all) countries in Latin America. Most of the people who immigrate to the USA are poor and mixed. I you go(I went) to Argentina they are very white and very European looking. I am mixed but I know the white people in Latin American and many of them do have European passport. Latin American is a very complicated society so if you were not born in here is hard to understand. Indigenous people(pure indians) do exist and they speak another language . For example: Guarani, Aymara, Quechua but they consider themselves Indigineous not Latino. Latino have a different meaning in Latin America an for some it can be offensive.

Iberians, like Western Europeans, do not share mainly R1a, but R1b: http://www.scs.illinois.edu/~mcdonald/WorldHaplogroupsMaps.pdf Pipo.
Actually within the Puerto Rico, Argentina or Venezuelan "Countries" there are different ethnic groups within each. What you are saying is like saying in the United States there is really only 'the United States ethnic group'. Also making a blanket statement on Latin Americans on Dna is incorrect. There could be vast differences. In most countries of Latin America(excluding the Carribean)most people have not even seen someone of African descent. Tierraman ( talk) 07:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
"The people living in the Iberian Penninsula region are fairly admixed, which means that when creating genetic ethnicity estimates for people native to this area, we see similarities to DNA profiles from other nearby regions. We’ve found that approximately 51% of the typical native’s (Spain and Portugal) DNA comes from this region."

I respectfully request that all the race information on top be moved lower to the race section. This subject seems to have been given what I believe to be undue weight and contains much original research. Also I submit that some of the terms like tri-racial, Octaroons, Quadroons, Mullatos, Mestizos, have a good chance of perceived as derogatory to some people.

That picture should be removed. They are not hispanic, but outright Spanish (So in European language they are just "normal white"). The details reveal that the picture was taken in Pamplona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.95.114.104 ( talk) 02:33, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Of course Spaniards are normal white, they are also normal Latins and they are also normal Hispanics. Look up the origin of the word Hispanic and see for yourself. In fact the biggest parade in Spain is "El dia de Hispanidad" which means The day of hispanism and/or Day of Hispanics. Also not all Spaniards are white. Please do objective research.
According to the 2000 Census there were 100,135 Spaniards in the US. According to the 2010 Census there were 635,253 Spaniards in the US. That means 535,118 more Spaniards. Seriously? Is the US Census a reliable source? -- 86.30.135.172 ( talk) 09:18, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Without going into details, there needs to be a disclaimer that this article is a mess. It should be a fundamentally linguistic explanation and should not combine the terms Hispanic and Latino in the same article. They should have separate articles. Otherwise, you get a mess, which is what this article is. A good model for fixing it would be to start with something like "Hispanics" in Britannica Online.

Five of the "famous Hispanic and Latino Americans" displayed in the side infobox are politicians (three in Congress, one as the Governor of New Mexico, and one as a former executive official). Furthermore, four of those five are Republicans. Could we please diversify the Hispanic and Latino cultural icons displayed in the infobox, perhaps by including even one musician, writer, film director, artist, scientist, inventor, or businessperson? Seriously, as a cross-section of important Hispanics and Latinos/Latinas, this is pretty lame. 128.84.125.132 ( talk) 01:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Iberian people (Portuguese, Spanish, and Andorrans) should not be included in the article since they are not Hispanic or Latino but caucasian or white, according to the US census definition for Europeans. It is misleading because people with Spanish, Portuguese or even German, British and French ancestry born in Latin America are considered Hispanic or Latino (either white, black, native, asian, mixed or other). Hispanic or Latino is used for people from Latin America as a region and should not be applied for other people with origins directly in Europe, which the proper term should be European. Since Iberia is in Europe, Spaniards and Portuguese, or people born in Spain or Portugal should be considered Europeans (of any race) and not Hispanic or latino. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.34.72.123 ( talk) 13:13, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Portuguese-American originate in Portugal which is in Europe and speak Portuguese, hence they cannot be labeled as "Hispanic" nor "Latino-American".

I think the US Hispanic/Latino population count is inaccurate and overcounted. Here's why: For example, a person may be half Puerto Rican and half Dominican, and identifies as such on the census. This person may be counted towards both the Dominican American population estimate and the Puerto Rican American estimate. Now, for the total US Hispanic/Latino population to be counted, the population estimates of all individual Hispanic groups have to be combined in order to get the total US Hispanic Latino count, which ultimately means that person (and all other ppl who are half one hispanic nationality and half another hispanic nationality) are counted twice. Which leads to a over count. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spreadofknowledge ( talk • contribs) 18:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
This page might benefit from an additional subsection from culture with some broad information about literature written by Hispanic & Latin Americans (both in Spanish and English). How this literature has influenced different people and groups is important as well.

Corrected "Americanos hispanos" with "Estadounidenses hispanos", since the Spanish word "americano" applies to any person from the American continent, from Canada to Argentina. The usage of "americano" to refer exclusively to US citizens is incorrect in Spanish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.76.122.180 ( talk) 13:43, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

I am going to delete the section on common diseases. The entire section is unsourced. Futhermore, the subsections on diabetes and HIV are only on New York City. And there is nothing remarkable about the hispanics having fatty liver disease. Work permit ( talk) 15:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
