I HATE WHEN YOU CALL ME Papi!

LATINO VS HISPANIC

Being Brasilian (and not born speaking spanish) i've found myself thinking about this issue often.

It was not until recently that i discussed it with a spanish speaking person who filled me in on the cultural content of both terms.

It made it a little more confusing - what should i mark on my census questionaire?

BTW, born and raised in Brazil it was not until i moved to NY that i found out i was not 'white'.
It came as a shock to me.
