@Fashion4life I am trying to imply that you need to open a book or search on the internet and do some reading and understand the meaning of these terms. Where they came from how they got to the new world. Also look at the Cubans of African descent were probably one of the first to use Afro Cubano which is way ahead of many countries. During the 1920s and 1930s Cuba experienced a movement geared towards Afro-Cuban culture called Afrocubanismo.

Everyone else was added in 1960. Now when Christian Milan 2:58 she could not get Latina parts because they were looking for fair skin or Mexican. All the information that has been posted is the reason why. Mexicans have again been in the West California even b4 Anglo settlers arrived. Now if you look at Los Angeles or Hollywood most people are familiar with the Latina look being Light skin or Mexican but also because these words were also used in the west first.

All this information can be found in books as well as Wikipedia if you look up Hispanics and Latino Americans. Again if you want to know the history of terms and how they were started you could go all the way back in time to its origin Italy & Spain. Also where they began in the New world 2nd Mexican Empire and how who started them in North America. Again in the 1900's immigration started to the United States first by Puertoricans who were permitted to come then by Cubans due to communism.

The choice of name is associated with location: Hispanic and Latino Americans who reside in the eastern United States tend to prefer the term Hispanic,

whereas those in the west usually prefer Latino.[4]

Because of the popularity of "Latino" in the western portion of the United States, the government adopted this term as well in 1997, and used it in the 2000 census.[4][5]

Other terms used by Mexicans to self Identify were Chicano and Tejano.

@evahill38 Between 1962 and 1979, hundreds of thousands of Cubans entered the United States under the Attorney General’s parole authority.3 In 1980, a mass migration of asylum seekers—known as the Mariel boatlift—brought approximately 125,000 Cubans (and 25,000 Haitians) to South Florida over a six-month period.

@evahill38 3rd added Cubans. most Cubans have been admitted to the United States through special humanitarian provisions of the law. The first emigres who came in 1958 were, according to the history of the time, followers of General Fulgencio Batista, the dictator who had taken power in a 1952 military coup. COMMUNISM Castro Takes over.

When Fidel Castro defeated Batista and formally assumed power in Cuba in 1959, the

exodus escalated, peaking at approximately 78,000 in 1962.

@evahill38 Puerto Ricans have both immigrated and migrated to New York. The first group of Puerto Ricans moved to New York in the mid-19th century when Puerto Rico was a Spanish Colony and its people Spanish subjects and therefore they were immigrants. The following wave of Puerto Ricans to move to New York did so after the Spanish-American War in 1898. Puerto Ricans were no longer Spanish subjects and citizens of Spain, they were now Puerto Rican citizens of an American possession
