→Hispanic vs. Latino: new section
You're correct on the majority of Latinos are recently-arrived legal (in most part) immigrants in the late 20th century from other nations besides Mexico. The Puerto Rican experience in New York City, Cuban refugees fleeing from Castro in Cuba, and the Central American exodus from civil war in the 1980s & again 2000s for economic reasons, is akin to the classic American experience of immigrants from Europe resettled in the new country and their families adapted our culture. That can mean Latinos will assimilate to the point they won't be monolingual Spanish-speaking, when over 80% of Latinos are bilingual or English-dominant like most 3rd generation Mexican-Americans. + [[User:Getitstraight|Getitstraight]] 15:32, 14 December 2009 (EST)

== Hispanic vs. Latino ==
Just something that's good to know, Hispanic people in the U.S. (or at least conservative Hispanics) prefer the term "Hispanic" to describe their ethnicity over "Latino" because they would rather associate their ancestry with Spain rather than Mexico: [https://twitter.com/jennymedina/status/1174455982425960448] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 07:55, 19 September 2019 (EDT)
