built 222 days ago
Author Cristina Benitez defines Latinization as a movement, a force that represents a series of Latino values and trends that are shaping contemporary American culture. It's a combination of factors from the 22 Spanish-speaking countries that are homelands to the Hispanic population of the U.S. These influences are as wide-ranging as Argentinean tango, dulce de leche desserts and the fast-growing popularity of Mexican cuisine.

Neither term refers to a race, as a person of Latino or Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race.[10][6] Like non-Latinos, a Latino can be White/Caucasian, or Black/African American, or Asian or Native American or Pacific Islander. Some may identify with more than one race, such as Mestizo (a bi-racial person of White/Caucasian and Native American descent), Mulatto (a person of White/Caucasian and Black/African American descent), Zambo (a person of Native American and Black/African American descent) or any other race or combination.
