Hispanic Heritage Month
The government has defined Hispanic or Latino persons as being "persons who trace their origin or descent to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central and South America, and other Spanish cultures". This includes Spain which is the origin of Spanish culture (Wikipedia).
How do you know whether to use Hispanic, Latino, Chicano, or Latin? Here is a website that explains the difference:
