Ethnic Studies DatabaseLatina/oNAMESLatina/os go by so many names. Some of them are self imposed while others are projected onto the community. Each is loaded with meaning, and if not used carefully, can lead to great misunderstandings. Like some ethnic groups, the Latina/o community is deeply affected by continual immigration.Chicana/o: Probably the most loaded term. This term should only be used when the person addressed has taken the name upon him/herself. Chicana/os are typically seen as Mexican Americans (though some exceptions are made from time to time) "with a non-Anglo view themselves" (Ruben Salazar). Using this name traditionally has political implications tied to it, including views on farm workers, immigration rights, bilingual education, etc... Mexican American: People of Mexican descent born in the United States. This can at times also include those born in Mexico but raised from a very early age in the United States. Nuyorican: Puerto Ricans in the New York area. Latina/o: North of the US-Mexico border, Latinas/os are the people who have arrived from Mexico, Central America, or South America and their children who were born in the US. South of the border, Latina/o is a term used for people born only in Latin American countries. Hispanic: Government word thrust upon people of Latin American descent for categorizing use (such as the Census). Some find this term to be extraordinarily offensive while others will only be recognized by this term. American with Spanish Surname: Located primarily in New Mexico and Arizona, people with last names originating from Spain but claim no allegiance/ancestory towards any Latina/o culture.
