In a narrow sense, Latin American refers to Latin American Indo-European mixed-race people who immigrated to the United States and Canada and spoke Spanish or Portuguese as their mother tongue. Most of these people immigrated from Mexico, Cuba, Brazil and other places. One hundred years ago, they were Spanish or Portuguese white colonists, American Indians and other ethnic hybrids.

The full name of Latino in the United States is "Hispanic and Latino Americans". Unlike the Spanish, they are a mixture of Europeans and Indians. So Americans have always regarded them as colored people. Among these self-defined Latin Americans, people from southwestern States, especially those bordering Mexico, have the most Native American ancestry.

But even these Hispanics have regional differences, which seem to reflect the history of immigration and integration. For example, some Latin Americans have no identifiable indigenous origin, while others have as much as 50% indigenous origin. New Mexico, Texas, California, Arizona and other southwestern States bordering Mexico have the highest proportion of Hispanics.
