[Lucy-H22666]

There isn’t a lot of difference between the terms, but there tends to be a lot of controversy as to which term is more appropriate, politically correct, etc. As I understand the definitions, here is is:
Latino/a: Anyone from or decended from people from any part of Latin America. For now, considered more politcally correct than Hispanic by some people.
Hispanic: Basically the same thing, but can include people from Spain, depending on who you talk to.
Chicano/a: Americans of Mexican or Central American ancestry. This term became popular during the Brown Pride and Civil Rights movements. Chicanos wanted a name other than Mexican to describe ourselves because we aren’t Mexicans, we are Americans, but at the same time we don’t want to lose our heritage.
