hispanos
Latin American descendants
Hispanos are people of Spanish-speaking heritage, particularly in the American Southwest.
The term often distinguishes descendants of early Spanish colonists in New Mexico and Colorado from later Mexican immigrants: The hispanos trace their roots to the sixteenth century.
