Answer
Nicaraguans are considered both Hispanic and Latino. "Hispanic" refers to people from Spanish-speaking countries, while "Latino" (or "Latina") encompasses individuals from Latin America, which includes both Spanish-speaking countries and Portuguese-speaking Brazil. Since Nicaragua is a Spanish-speaking country in Central America, Nicaraguans fall under both categories.
Suggestions
- What are some other countries that fall under the category of Hispanic?
- How does the term 'Latino' encompass a wider range of countries than 'Hispanic'?
- Are there any other countries that are considered both Hispanic and Latino?
- What are the cultural implications of being identified as Hispanic and Latino?
- How do individuals from Portuguese-speaking Brazil fit into the category of Latino?
