The term "Latin" is one of the various terms used to classify the US permanent population, whose cultural heritage comes from the Latin American country. There is also the word "Hispanic" that has been selected as the official "national label" of the US government agency since the 1970s, but it is very interesting to be classified into three groups in the official format of the United States. And Hispanics. According to the government's definition, such names include those whose origins and Spanish culture are derived from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central America or South America regardless of their ethnicity. The person's primary identity is a member of indigenous culture from Central America or South America.

José Dueño, S.J.: The first person of the Puerto Rican, I was born and raised there. Because Puerto Rico is also part of Latin America because Spanish is the mother tongue, you can call it "Latin" or "Hispanic". But sometimes I will ask myself whether the label of "Latin America" ​​will continue the idea that all Latin Americans are exactly the same culture. Antonio De Loera-Brust: I think it is Ticano or Mexican-American. I think the Latin American line is a big comprehensive term, and Chicano describes my unique American experience as a Mexican immigrant child. "Chicano" reminds me of the history of resistance to cultural pride and racial discrimination in particular. It gives me strength and inspiration. I am proud of the roots of Mexico, but I feel dissatisfied, I do not know when I was treated as a Caucasian. If someone says "I'm just an American," I am "Just" American. Now, if someone says "Irish American" or "Italian American", I am very proud and proud to say that I am a Mexican American.
