As a Dominican American I have encountered many people that consider themselves Hispanic and others that say they are Latino. What is the difference you ask?
Well from my understanding Hispanics are people who speak Spanish or are from countries that speak spanish. Latinos are just generally anyone who speaks a romance language, which includes Portuguese, French & Italian. Therefore one can say that all Hispanics are Latinos, but that not all Latinos are Hispanics.
There is a pretty lengthy discussion on that topic here:

Whatever you consider yourself, we all have a bond. A bond that goes beyond the way we look or speak. This site will discuss many topics for all HisTinos. Some will be serious, like politics and immigration. While others will be light-hearted like our different customs, foods and yes marriage and dating.
So.....lets get to talking!!
