Hispanic Heritage Month

[Chica Yeyé 41]

anybody know how the word Hispanic came about? i dont mind being called Hispanic but call my mom or some of the older generation that could get u in a lot of trouble..........

ah.. hispanic is just people that speak Spanish.. although it originally meant the people that came frmo Hispania (Spain)..

some people don't like to be called hispanics.. because they're not spanish.. nor latinos, cuz they don't speak latin either -although yes it's derived from there-... sometimes it tries to encompass such a variety of countries and local dialects.. so people don't like it..

Me, for instance.
