Hispanic and Latin (or “Latino” in Spanish) to us mean the same (except to Brazilians; they are Latin but not truly Hispanic). Hispanic means “of the former Spanish colonies” (Spain equals Hispania). Latino (in Spanish) means “de Latinoamerica” (in English “from Latinamerica”). Chicano is a term used solely for Mexican-Americans, originated in the Mexican communities of Chicago. My advice is to use “Latin” (in English, without the “o”), which includes all people born in or of ascendants from México to Argentina, and avoid separating Mexicans from the rest of Latin America by using a term just for them. And above all, remember that Latin/Hispanic is a culture, not a race or skin color.
