- Hispanos is a name given to people of colonial Spanish descent in what is today the United States who retained a predominantly Spanish culture. The distinction was made to compensate for flawed U.S. Census practices in the 1930s which used to characterize Hispanic people as non-white. http://www. jstor. org/pss/2573048 Though the word could describe anyone of Spanish descent,http://buscon. rae. es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=hispano it is specifically used to refer to Hispanic Americans who live in the Southwestern United States which was formerly the northernmost region of New Spain. They are mostly descendants of Spanish settlers (with Basques and Conversos - Spanish Jews converted to Christianity to escape persecution from the Spanish Inquisition), Mexicans (both white Mexicans and mestizo Mexicans) who arrived during the Spanish colonial period and the Mexican period, and Mestizos of mixed Spanish and Native American ancestry. Some Hispanos differentiate themselves culturally from the population of Mexican Americans whose ancestors arrived in the Southwest after the Mexican Revolution. Hispano populations include Californios in California, Tejanos in Texas and "Hispanos" in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. While having integrated into mainstream American societies, Hispanos have retained much of their colonial Southwestern culture, having absorbed several American Indian traditions. Many Hispanos, particularly those of younger generations, identify more with the mainstream population and may understand little or no Spanish. Most of them are Roman Catholic Christians.
