First let me get some terms defined. Hispanic are people of hispaniola, presently dominican republic and haiti (yes haitains are technically hispanic). But today the term as been commonly swapped with latino, which his any one with latin/spanish background. But the thing about hispanic culture which i don't think many people realize is that the spanish culture is very much like the white culture. Latinos are made of many different races being combined: Spanish(spain), Taino and many differnt native tribes, African, and french. That is why so latinos have so much pride in their own culure, because they vary so much from country to country. For example, sout american countries are more native influence were as carribean are more Spanish influenced. That is why swapping native and latino would be wrong. Because there are many latinos who have no or extremely little indian blood in their veins, For example, I'm dominican and my family is can be directly traced back to Collado Villaba a town in Madrid, Spain. THus my family is very light skin and Spanish/white rather than Taino or Black. Well then again, its my opinion.....
