By the way, this term is too vague. I know that the US census authority uses it with a racial connotation, but in my book, "La Hispanidad" encompasses all the achievements of the Spanish culture. |

It not that I don't like the word hispanic, it's just how it used and what it represents in the US.

"Hispanic" is a category on the US Census. Real Latin American Spanish speakers I've met call themselves "Latinos," or in urban slang, "Spanish people."
And USAmerican stereotypes about them are confused because USAmericans know virtually nothing about Latin American history.
