Both of my parents are Guatemalan and I was born in the U.S. I consider my ethnicity to be Latino. I feel this term encompasses the idea of being a U.S. native with a Latin American background. However, things do become a bit trickier to label when there are more races in the mix. But I think this is a good thing! I'm really glad you brought this up because many Latinas probably have a similar question.

Ah interesting, so if lets say someone has Mexican heritage/background then they would be Hispanic? 

and thanks!
