    Not sure,
    would guess Latin American and Mexican
    Google should have the answer

    Latino/Latina refers to non-Anglo-Americans who are living in the US and are of Hispanic background, typically Spanish speaking people.

    Hispanic is used to categorise people for whose background hail from Spain or the Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America.

    It's like asking what's the difference between white and Caucasian. Hispanic is the "politically correct" way to describe someone from some kind of Latino backround, and Latino is used to describe people from Latin America.

    Hopefully that helps.

    Caucasian is having very light pigmented skin... basically a white person.
    I think its mainly used when not sure of persons ethnic origin but know their skin colour
