All individuals identified as Latino are also considered Hispanic, regardless of their country of origin.

The terms Latino and Hispanic are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings. Hispanic refers to people who speak Spanish or have a Spanish-speaking background, which includes many countries in Latin America and Spain. On the other hand, Latino refers specifically to people from Latin America, which includes countries where Spanish is spoken as well as Portuguese-speaking Brazil. Therefore, while all Latinos can be considered Hispanic because they come from Spanish-speaking countries, not everyone who is Hispanic is Latino, as they might come from Spain or other places. For example, a person from Mexico is both Latino and Hispanic, while a person from Spain is Hispanic but not Latino.
