Serves as an umbrella term for people of Spanish, or Spanish-speaking ancestry. Hispanic is considered a pan-ethnic term, and does not provide context for someone's race or country of origin.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Note
|
||||
People who self-identify as Hispanic may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, [Latino/Latina](#/latino), or [Latinx](#/latinx), but don't assume that they do. When in doubt, ask for individual preferences.

Serves as an umbrella term for people of Latin American ancestry. Latino (and Latina) are inherently gendered terms due to Spanish's gendered language. Latino is considered a pan-ethnic term that does not provide context for someone's language, country of origin, or race.
|
||||
|
||||
Also can be written in gender neutral forms of [Latinx](#/latinx), or Latin@s. When in doubt, default to Latino, and ask individual parties their preference, if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Note
|
||||
People who self-identify as Latin American or Latino/Latina may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, [Hispanic](#/hispanic), or [Latinx](#/latinx).

Latinx arose as a gender-neutral alternative to the gendered [Latino](#/latino)/Latina in the United States.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a term that is seeing expanded usage and evolution among academic circles. Latinx is considered a pan-ethnic term that does not provide context for someone's language, country of origin, or race.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Note
|
||||
People who self-identify as Latinx may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, [Hispanic](#/hispanic), or [Latin American](/#latino)
