Hispanic is used to describe people from countries that were once under Spanish rule (Mexico, South America, and Central America)...where Spanish is the primary language.
LATINO, contrary to popular belief, refers to countries or cultures once under Roman rule. These include Italy, Spain, and France. Brazilians are also considered Latino.
Mulatto is black and white...while Mestizo refers to Indians from Mexico and other "Latin" countries producing a child with a White European.
I think the biggest misconception here is that Latino people are from south of the United States. When in reality, Latino refers to those with latin roots.
