[Dan27288]

Chicano means ‘Mexican American’. Historically, it has been a politically charged term. It’s usually correlated with activism and political organizations and whatnot. The term ‘Chicano’ would not apply to someone from El Salvador or Puerto Rico. The term Latino denotes someone of Latin American heritage, whether they be of Mexican, Argentinan, or Brazilian origin. Here in L.A., the phrase ‘Chicano/Latino’ pairs people of Mexican origin (who are the majority here) with people of Central American origin as well as South American origin.
