What is the difference between Mexican and Latino?

I’d always thought that a Mexican was a native of Mexico and Latino was a general term referring to natives of South and Central America. Hispanic is the term that encompasses everyone of Spanish descent.

“Latino” generally refers to anyone from “Latin America”, including Belizians, Guatemalans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, Costa Ricans, El Salvadorians, Panamanians and Mexicans. The term “Mexicans” refers just to people from Mexico.

A Latino is somebody from Latin America. A Mexican is somebody from Mexico. Because Mexico is in Latin America Mexicans are latinos, but not all latinos are Mexicans. I should know this since I am Mexican-American.

Mexicans are Latinos. Latino is just a way to label people who are multiethnic and born in Latin America. It usually refers to people who are half Spanish (that’s part of Europe meaning Spanish people are White), and half Native American. However, Latin America used to be like the U.S, over 80/90% white (now it’s 60-1% in some countries), until they intermixed with the Native Americans and everyone else who immigrated there, so now Latin American just refers to anyone of any ethnicity, but born in Latin America.
